Cameron Masingale-Sensitivity

The challenges one faces when writing about other cultures and communities are numerous. As a writer, it is your responsibility to be fair and courteous when speaking about other cultures and communities to show that you are an informed writer. With your even-handed writing, you can present yourself as a dedicated, informed journalist by showing an understanding of a different culture. Not only will this affirm your credibility, but it will also inform readers about a subject they may be unfamiliar with.
Those who do not exhibit cultural relativity will come off as uninformed and will probably not be taken seriously. With the amount of diversity in journalism today, a well-researched article will reflect equality and fairness.
