    Whats wrong of a professional group is comes together under the banner of religion? there are so many organisations unite different professionals based upon religion, language, region etc. I agree Felix F, that a journalist is a journalist. But everyone is human being, and a free individual and is influenced by his/her ideologies which come naturally by taking birth in his/her particular community/religion/nationality. still its highly need that a journalist should think impartially. are all journalist these days are impartial or pre-judiced?
