The press has a somewhat well woeking relatinship with the world elites. Soetimes thee journalists are going to be pushy and do things outside of a certian code of conduct to obtain something that they think that they or theor viewer wants to here. I think that the journalists have a role in providing a way of spreading information in a neutral and unbiased manner. Some journalists have other things in mind. The two elemets that I want to discuss about journalism are the element of democracy said in the text ” I place this emohasis on the reflexive creation of journalism, thepublic sphere, and the nation state to sustain a basic and simple point: The origina of journalism are the same as the origina of republicn and democratic forms of governance- No journalism, just democracy.” (Page 13) This also ties into my point of journalism and the public opinion.
What journalism is, is the documentation of fact and real world events as a means of informing the people of local communities as well as the general population of the globe. It requires a specific type of poise and authenticity that is crucual when asking the facts, because one doesnt want to spread misinformation or paint someone in a bad light.. generally. Journaliam matters because its suppost to be the honest spreading of integral facts and true testiments of people involved in these real world events. Additionally, the news and jourliam alike are what keeps the spread of information flowing smoothly. Imagine if you didnt have a way of obtaining global events, there could be mass hysteria and confusion if the wrong thing does not get out. For example, if there was a tornado watvh in southern Texas, and there was no one to warn the people, the damage rate and casualties would be far greater.
Journal #1: What is journalism and why is it Important?
Journalism is researching facts, providing context, finding knowledgeable sources and telling stories of news and information that’s in the public’s interest thoughtfully and ethically. Being a good journalist means that you treat your audience with respect, you treat your sources with respect and you treat the truth with respect.To be a journalist you must find a story either on social media or by word of mouth, gather elements of the story such as interviews, video, photos, and anything else that will make the piece come to life and the last step is to put the story together. Journalists must keep in mind who their audiences are, how they reach those audiences and what mediums they are getting their news and information from. Journalism is important because Journalism provides people with the information they need to make good decisions for themselves and their communities, and is essential for a functioning democracy. Journalism is the bridge between what happens and what people do with that information. There is a broad spectrum of who is working in journalism and the stories that journalists tell and the mechanisms that they use to tell them are more relevant than ever before.
Journalism is the art of gathering information on a certain subject. Journalism has evolved greatly over the years with technology playing a big part in the growth of this art. Journalism could be straight forward and be interviewing someone but it could also be as important as following a presidential election candidate and making sure people know the good and bad about that person. Journalism matters because it’s useful for someone to use the information that was given to them to be able to say help them with a project of their own. For example, a project could be a school research paper and a certain article with great information is used in the students paper to help them be able to get good information on the topic.
I think Journalism is reporting on facts and events that are currently happening but as well as it should be about being informative to readers about the history of why the current events are happening, sometimes it’s more pointed to all current events. As well as recording what is happening. This could be applied to just reporting on the public domain or making something that isn’t viewed or knowledgeable as “common” to the public. But also representing communities. Journalism could also be not about just events but past events and different groups in a community. I think that Journalism is also about spreading facts of what is happening. This matters because how else would the public read about the public or be interested in looking and asking questions about things on their own time if they are simply not interested or have the time to find out such things on their own time. I think that it is very important now because of democracy if you are voting for a government you should know what the government is doing to help the public decide if they are worthy of their vote theoretically of course. Facts can be somehow made into biases or like we talked about in class history can be weaponized in different ways for explaining current events.
Journalism is the process of gathering information on a topic, ensuring it’s factual, and creating an informative writing piece that allows readers to be aware of the topic and gain a general understanding from the summary. This comes in many forms such as social media, whether that’s online articles, television, podcasts, or radio. In recent times, journalism in the form of paper has become less popular due to everything being digitalized. Regardless of how news spreads, it’s important to have official, trustworthy sites providing updates on society. This is large-scale journaling meant for the masses however it can also be small scale. People have used magazines in the past for life updates such as columns or to share useful skills, and now we use online ‘blogs’ and social media stories to spread our thoughts, brands, self-image, and influence. Journaling can also be therapeutic for self-fulfillment on a more personal scale. While these three types may have their differences, they all serve the purpose of informing and clarifying whoever chooses to view their writing. It’s important to make people aware of what’s going on in the world and to represent several perspectives. Not only is it for the public but it can also help the writers themselves sort out the ‘happenings’ of the world.
What is journalism and why does it matter?
When thinking about the definition of journalism I would first describe it as the craft of sharing knowledge. It has the surroundings of someone, a journalist finding a topic that peaks the interest of themselves as well as the public and gathering ideas, opinions and facts to share about the specific topic. From this definition and idea of journalism I think it greatly matters due to the fact that it has the power to educate people. Even if the topics are seemingly unimportant you still have the ability to take something away from it and the ability to learn a new thing.
I personally define journalism as both the practice and concept of communication that spans from local to international reaches, and informs the public of recent happenings as well as developments in out-standing events. It is both the communication between the public sphere and the goings-on of those in power, and the continuation of that information. It serves to inform the public, hold the powerful accountable, and make space for larger discussions to occur, concerning the future of a community.
It is both an extremely important tether between the public and the powerful, and it’s a unique form of checks and balances, as it informs the public and prevents the powerful from taking advantage of them. In making this crucial connection between demographics, it upholds the core of democracy, ideally making knowledge accessible, and readily available, to all. In these ways, journalism simultaneously empowers the powerless and grounds the powerful, equalizing society with knowledge.
Journalism as a practice, profession, and craft is the duty to gather information or evidence about events, issues, people, etc., and verify and record those findings in writing or audio to inform the public. I like to think of journalism as a running document of human history; it’s never truly ended but instead takes its place in the log of our culture, waiting to be called upon as reference, evidence, or context that allows our now to have shape and meaning. I am the first to acknowledge how many systemic inequalities, power structures, etc., have always existed within journalism or the news. Still, it is the act of having journalism that allows us to know about those in a democratic society. Much like our values of democracy, we anticipate abuse of power, greed, and dishonesty and, therefore, build an elaborate system of checks and balances and laws in hopes of having methods to combat the inevitable. Journalism cannot be separated from these circumstances, but our First Amendment allows us to counteract dishonest or wrongful accounts freely. The political and cultural moment we are in right now will be recorded through journalism; it is vital that our historical record is something future generations can look to with high regard.

Journalism is different from news and from reporting in the way that the writer is reporting, but is also connecting. A journalist researches extensively in order to retrieve interesting but also accurate information. They conduct interviews, attend events, etc., whereas a reporter might not go to such lengths.
Journalism is the act of conveying and sharing previously unknown information with another person, that can be a big news story, a piece of gossip from the great vine or just a small fun fact being shared. My point being that journalism can look like and is many different things, and it it’s core it is just communication between people, and that’s important because communication is how people survive and thrive in each others company there is no life without communication, all forms of life from plants to animals communicate somehow, because it is core to pretty much life, not to get to existential with this topic but it’s true, communication sustains life and our experiences and journalism is communication.
Journalism is a unique form of writing and communication to the public. Journalists report on either hard or soft news, breaking news, or simply for leisure. There are countless forms of media that journalists use to produce and compile news, including various digital formats as well as print formats. The world acquires the news in multimedia presentations. This format gives the public a foundation to understand what is happening around them. Journalists report on topics that actively affect the public or events that may be useful to know instead of living unaware. Overall, the whole concept is to inform the public, allowing them to become familiar with ongoing, relevant issues and information. Journalism creates a culture that lives informed and can think critically about affairs. Most critically, journalism provides society with a framework to share an efficient community.
Journalism is the practice of creating a factual public record of events, and publishing said record for the public to view. Journalism matters because it acts as a method by which the common man can understand the events in his country, as well as demystifying the ruling class/politics. It changes politics from something only for the elite to something that any man can participate in and understand. Not only that, but it also logs the current events in a permanent fashion, allowing there to be an unbiased record of what happened. This allows there to be both accountability and public recollection of past events to prevent historical mistakes from occurring again and to give people a better understanding of the world. Not only this, but journalism is essential to the function of a democracy, and democracy is essential to journalism. Without journalism, people are reduced to understanding only what they are told by propagandists, therefore not being able to make informed political decisions for themselves. Democracy is essential to true journalism, as if there is no democracy people do not have the power to freely associate and publish news, or participate in public debates about current events.
The dictionary definition of the term “journalism” is the activity or profession of writing for newspapers, magazines, or news websites or preparing news to be broadcast. Now journalism to me is like being a detective for news. It’s not just about telling stories; it’s about digging deep to find out what’s really going on behind the scenes. Imagine you’re trying to figure out a puzzle, but instead of pieces, you have facts and interviews. Your job is to put them together in a way that makes sense to everyone else. I Think of journalists as the people who keep an eye on those in power, making sure they’re doing their jobs and keeping things fair. They’re like the referees in a game, making sure everyone plays by the rules. But it’s not easy. With the internet, there’s so much information out there, and not all of it is true. Journalists must sift through it all to find the truth, even when it’s buried under layers of lies or misinformation. At the end of the day, journalism is about keeping people informed. It’s about shining a light on the important issues and helping everyone understand what’s going on in the world around them.
