Outlines Of Journalism

Description

Journalism is a discipline of collecting, analyzing, verifying, and presenting news regarding current events, trends, issues and people. Those who practice journalism are known as journalists. Journalism is said to serve the role of a "Fourth Estate", acting as a watchdog on the workings of the government. Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on current events based on facts and supported with proof or evidence. The word journalism applies to the occupation, as well as citizen journalism, the use of journalistic skills and media to disseminate news and information via the Internet, especially by bloggers. Journalistic content is sometimes referred to as "the first rough draft of history" because journalists often record important events, producing news articles on short deadlines. This book deals with a wide range of topics from how journalism started, the characteristics of a good journalist, reporting, editing and subediting, news agencies and more.
