journalist can reflect reality. According to Rubery (2010), been stated that the news differentiates
from the truth and cannot be considered as the same thing. In the era of technological and
economic uncertainty, it is quite difficult to understand the depiction of a journalist.
The journalism includes the job of highlighting and disseminating the truth along with the
public. The main purpose of its existence is to provide the society with information about the
issues, people and events. Moreover, fiction creates confusion, doubt in reality and also affecting
the facts and the real news in the process. Therefore, the media must differentiate between the
facts and fiction using valuable resources. It is considered to be the most significant resource of
the journalist to differentiate between fact from fiction (Davis, 1997). Also, they got involved in

interpretations based on uncertainty, delusion, and variety. This results in providing significant
aspects to understanding the construction of the text buy both readers and authors to conclude a
piece of writing as fact and not fiction. There is a narrow factuality line between the fancies and
