Journalism originates from the Latin word diurnal, meaning daily, and is a communication of day-to-day information through sounds, pictures, and words.
Newspapers are the oldest and most traditional format for the inclusion of journalism, containing news of current events, informative articles, diverse features and advertising.
American journalists relied on sensational stories that were used to excite or anger the public, rather than to inform them, a form of journalism known as 'yellow' journalism.
Inside sources with the ability to 'leak' stories to the press often choose newspapers first over any other medium due to the perceived willingness of their editors to expose corruption and lies among otherwise respected institutions.
Magazines are publications containing a variety of articles that are generally published on a regular schedule, whether it be weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.
The key premise of Advocacy Journalism is that journalists participate in the mass-mediated public sphere and that their work deliberately and transparently stands for specific perspectives, with stories actively championing for certain ideas and values.
With roots as far as the origins of journalism itself, as a contemporary practice, Advocacy Journalism can be found—to varying degrees—in all kinds of media outlets across the globe.
Independence in journalism means putting forward the life of one or two persons by slashing the welfare of the general public is a clear violation of this tenet.
