What is journalism? Without having any former precognitions
of the correct definition, I would define journalism as the study of accurately
reporting or delivering information to the world through different channels of
media. There are various ways of communicating information to the world,
whether it is by the nightly news, a newspaper article, or simply by talking to
a neighbor about the recent Republican National Convention. There are some
mediums that seek to misinform the public, though such sources do not define
pure journalism. True journalism seeks to inform the community at large of the
events taking place in the world as quickly and as honestly as possible. Of
course, there is room for bias depending on the individuals reporting the
information or even from the channel or corporation in control of reporting the
news. It is essential in journalism, however, to report information as seems
most honest and basically informative. Journalism in any form is protected
under the constitution. We are lucky to have the freedom to publish our work in
any way we wish, whether it be through print, broadcast, or in any other form
of journalism that exists. Overall, journalism is the means by which we are
able to communicate information on a mass basis.
