I think that all journalists, specifically print journalists, have a responsibility to educate the public. When you handle a culture's intellectual property, like journalists do, you have a responsibility not to tear it down, but to raise it up.

But the reality is, they have a responsibility to either be involved in work or education, or they're limited in terms of their benefits.
