This thesis explores how journalism needs improvement in terms of truthful, accurate reporting and how to build reader trust. Through Aaron Quinn, a proponent for virtue ethical journalism, it asserts that good, ethical journalism is essential to maintain a healthy democracy, where the thesis later challenges whether this is possible to perfect. The thesis also explores the field of epistemic injustice through Miranda Fricker, where we learn how combating said injustice can be done by epistemically powerful groups, such as journalists. The thesis then develops a case where it synthesises the different ideas explained by both authors to provide a theoretical foundation and a practical toolset that journalists may use in order to work towards the goal of both fields. To visualise the synergism, the thesis constructs the hypothetical case of Trevor, who, despite a relatively guarded and isolated upbringing, can later learn to become an advocate for justice. It argues that the ideas put forth are not merely compatible but can work in tandem to improve each other's ambition: Fricker's ideas can help to deepen an understanding of why certain things are harmful, while Quinn's may provide a framework through which journalists can actualise the work against injustice.
