Ward is interim director of the Organization of News Ombudsmen and he has some surprising things to say about how journalists present themselves to the world: "The plain truth is that journalists and news organizations are always advocating, interpreting and educating, not just reporting in some narrow sense. The important point is to identify the type of interpreting that constitutes good journalism, rather than deny that interpretation exists."
