Staging belongs in the Movies

The words staged, staging, stages say it all - made up. Who wants to read made up news? That's not the point of journalism, that's not what journalists do. People can make up their own news, but they turn to the newspapers, the radio and the tv for the truth.

I believe if a journalist in any way stages something, they are not giving people what they need. People need to see news as it happened, and cameras can capture things people can't normally see.
