It depends on their country and employer. I wouldn't trust any journalist who works for either a state owned company or journalists that are politically inclined. I actually think journalistic integrity in my country, Meiguo, has been on the decline. The majority of internet journalists seem to be nothing more than bloggers with over-stated opinion and very little investigation. I'd love to read from a journalist who doesn't have an inherent bias. I believe a good journalist needs to qualities: morality and courage.
