Journalism is the production and distribution of
reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that are the "
news of the day" and that informs
society to at least some degree of accuracy. The word, a
noun, applies to the
occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the organizing literary styles.
The appropriate role for journalism varies from
country to country, as do perceptions of the profession, and the resulting status. In some nations, the
news media are controlled by government and are not independent. In others, news media are independent of the government and operate as
private industry. In addition, countries may have differing implementations of laws handling the
freedom of speech,
freedom of the press as well as
slander and
libel cases.
The proliferation of the Internet and
smartphones has brought significant changes to the media landscape since the turn of the 21st century. This has created a shift in the consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through
e-readers,
smartphones, and other personal electronic devices, as opposed to the more traditional formats of
newspapers,
magazines, or
television news channels. News organizations are challenged to fully monetize their digital wing, as well as improvise on the context in which they publish in print. Newspapers have seen print revenues sink at a faster pace than the rate of growth for digital revenues. (Full article...)
