What is jornalism according to different scholars |
|
Answer» Journalism is the activity of GATHERING, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It is also the product of these activities. Journalism can be DISTINGUISHED from other activities and products by certain IDENTIFIABLE characteristics and practices. These elements not only separate journalism from other forms of communication, they are what MAKE it indispensable to democratic societies. History reveals that the more democratic a society, the more news and information it tends to have. “The purpose of journalism,” write Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel in The Elements of Journalism, “is not DEFINED by technology, nor by journalists or the techniques they employ.” Rather, “the principles and purpose of journalism are defined by something more basic: the function news plays in the lives of people.” |
