JURNALISM

2. Journalism is a method of inquiry and literary style that aims to provide a service to
the public by the dissemination and analysis of news and other information. Journalistic
integrity is based on the principles of truth, disclosure, and editorial independence.
Journalistic mediums can vary diversely, from print publishing to electronic broadcasting and
from newspaper to television channels, as well as to the web, and to digital technology.
In the modern society the news media is the chief purveyor of information and
opinion about public affairs. Journalism, however, is not always confined to the news media or
to news itself, as journalistic communication may find its way into broader forms of
expression, including literature and cinema. In some nations, the news media is still
controlled by government intervention, and is not fully an independent body.

3. In a democratic Society, however, access to tree information plays a central role in creating a system of
checks and balance, and in distributing power equally between governments, businesses, individuals, and other
social entities. Access to verifiable information gathered by independent media sources, which adhere to
journalistic standards, can also be of service to ordinary citizens, by empowering them with the tools they
need in order to participate in the political process.
The role and status of journalism, along with that of the mass media, has undergone profound changes
over the last two decades with the advent of digital technology and publication of news on the Internet. This has
created a shift in the consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through e-
readers, smartphones, and other electronic devices, challenging news organizations to fully monetize their
digital wing, as well as improvise on the context in which they publish news in print. Notably, in the American
media landscape, newsrooms have reduced their staff and coverage as traditional media channels, such as
television, grapple with declining audiences. For instance, between 2007 and 2012, CNN edited its story
packages into nearly half of their original time length.

4. This compactness in coverage has been linked to broad audience attrition, as
a large majority of respondents in recent studies show changing preferences in
news consumption. The digital era has also ushered in a new kind of journalism in
which ordinary citizens play a greater role in the process of news-making, with the
rise of citizen journalism being possible through the Internet. Using video camera
equipped smartphones, active citizens are now enabled to record footage of news
events and upload them onto channels like YouTube, which is often discovered and
used by mainstream news media outlets. Meanwhile, easy access to news from a
variety of online sources, like blogs and other social media, has resulted in readers
being able to pick from a wider choice of official and unofficial sources, instead of
only from traditional media organizations.
