I believe that the term "responsible journalism" and "investigative journalism" became suggestive from what was commonly disdained among journalists who are irresponsible and are whisperers/talebearers/gossipers. Here are what the Bible says about them:
PROVERBS 18:8 (RSV)
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
PROVERBS 18:8 (KJV)
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
PROVERBS 18:8 (NIV)
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.
