Truth in journalism is definitely a combination of both facts and context.  It is the responsibility of a journalist to present information as accurately as possible.  This requires the facts to be intensively researched, and context to be fully accounted for.  Truth in journalism is all about being clear and upfront.  It is about presenting the most complete and correct information possible at the given time.  I think that journalists have an especially important obligation to be honest because they are the ones that are informing the public of current news and events.  People trust journalism and expect integrity and validity.
