Are you a journalist that also happens to be a Christian? If so, here is a piece you might be interested in from executive editor of the Baptist Messenger, Douglas E. Baker.
great piece. it is hard for any journalist to avoid bias in reporting. even when sticking to the facts, the reporter includes the facts he/she wants to report, which leads to bias at some level. I would hope Christian journalists can help bring integrity to the profession. and with today's social media, where everyone is a reporter, we need people who not only report, but behalf, as people of faith.
I am a Christian seeking to cultivate a Christian consciousness. I have a lovely wife and a delightful daughter. I am a member of a Baptist church. I have studied at Oklahoma Baptist University, Gordon-Conwell Seminary, and, currently, I am a student at Durham University.

I agree. THe key on biases is avoiding skewed reporting with the "we-are-all-biased" excuse. Thanks for the comment.
