B Some articles are meant for private circulation and are seldom published or made available to the public. Out of scope. Not concerned with the circulation or popularity
C Journalists should be more concerned with the level of authenticity of information provided in their articles than they currently are. Out of scope
D An article cannot be considered artistic if it discusses facts with a straight-forward writing style. Correct. In line with the conclusion. If we negate this option the conclusion will shatter
E Artists are not concerned with the factual relevance of their writings. Factual reverence is not the concern . Out of scope
