In this era of globalization, news reporting is no longer just a means of communications, but it has also developed into a tool for change.

One of which is Wilhelm Kempf, he critiqued that Journalism of Attachment gives the journalism too much authority, somewhat making them a judge to decide what is right or wrong. It seems that Martin Bell’s approach to conflicts and problems is to reduce it to a moral problem, and that is one of the major underlying problems with it as â€Å"he undermines his own professional authority byShow MoreRelatedChallenges in Adoption of Ifrs in Nigeria3452 Words   |  14 PagesADOPTING INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING SYSTEM IN NIGERIA Anthony O.
