The world of journalism is very diverse, and covers every single group of people to some aspect. Having the responsibility to cover each and every single group of individuals, it is very important to be familiar with the terms that are acceptable to use within the context of each group.
Offensive language runs rampant in everyday conversation with little or no consequence. However, each and every slip up in the world of journalism can result in the loss of a job or jobs. This is because diversity is respected, and the interests of each group must be taken into account when writing about them.
The lines have been drawn, and now the journalism must toe the line or face the consequences.
