Journalism

What is the specialty of Journalism major?

Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that represent "the news of the day" and that inform society at least to some extent. The word applies to profession (professional or non-professional), information-gathering methods, and organized literary methods. Press media include: print, television, radio, the Internet and, in the past, news films.

Concepts of an appropriate role for the press differ between countries. In some countries, the media is controlled through government interference and is not fully (or even partially) independent. In other cases, the news media is independent of the government but instead operates as a private industry. In addition to the changing nature of how media organizations are managed and financed, countries may have different implementations of laws that address issues of free speech and defamation.

The spread of the Internet and smartphones has brought about significant changes in the media landscape since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This has led to a shift in the consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through e-readers, smartphones, and other personal electronic devices, as opposed to traditional forms of newspapers, magazines, or television news channels. News organizations are challenged to monetize their entire digital suite, as well as improvise in the context in which they publish publications. Newspapers saw print revenue decline faster than digital revenue growth

History of Journalism :

While publications that convey news to the general public in a standardized manner only began to appear in the 17th century onwards, governments since the Han Dynasty in China have made use of regularly published newsletters. Similar pamphlets were issued in the Republic of Venice in the 16th century. However, these bulletins were intended only for government officials, and thus were not newspaper news publications in the modern sense of the term.

Early modern Newspapers:

With the spread of mass printing techniques such as the printing press, newspapers were created to provide news to an increasingly educated audience. The first references to privately owned newspaper publishers in China date back to the late Ming dynasty of 1582. Johann Carolus' Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, published in 1605 in Strasbourg, is often known as the first newspaper in Europe.

Freedom of the press was officially established in Great Britain in 1695, as Alan Rusbridger, former editor of the Guardian stated: Rest of the world, be conscious of how the world is still watching to see how we protect these liberties. While press organizations began as private enterprises in some regions, such as the Holy Roman Empire and the British Empire, others such as France and Prussia maintained tighter control over the press, treating it primarily as an outlet for government propaganda and subjecting it to uniform censorship. Other governments, such as The Russian Empire, more suspicious of the newspaper press and effectively banned press publications until the mid-19th century.As newspaper publishing became a more and more established practice, publishers would increase publication to a weekly or daily rate.Newspapers were more concentrated in cities that were commercial centers, such as Amsterdam, London, and Berlin The first newspapers in Latin America were created in the mid to late 19th century

News media and revolutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

Newspapers played an important role in mobilizing popular support for the liberal revolutions of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the American colonies, newspapers spurred people to revolt against British rule by publishing grievances against the British crown and republishing pamphlets by revolutionaries such as Thomas Paine, while pro-revolution publications galvanized. News publications in the United States remained proudly and openly partisan throughout the nineteenth century. In France, political newspapers appeared during the French Revolution, in which L'Ami du peuple, edited by Jean-Paul Marat, played a particularly famous role in defending the rights of the lower revolutionary classes. Napoleon reintroduced strict censorship laws in 1800, but after his reign, prints flourished and played an important role in political culture. As part of the revolutions of 1848, radical liberal publications such as Rheinische Zeitung, Pesti Hírlap, and Morgenbladet were galvanizing people to overthrow the aristocratic governments of Central Europe. Other liberal publications played a more moderate role: the Russian Bulletin praised Alexander II for Russia's liberal reforms in the late 19th century, and supported increased political and economic freedoms for peasants as well as the establishment of a parliamentary system in Russia. In France, Russia and Germany, socialist and communist newspapers had a wide following despite being banned by the government.

China:

Further information: History of the China press

The press in China prior to 1910 primarily served the international community. The overthrow of the old imperial regime in 1911 produced a surge in Chinese nationalism, an end to censorship, and a demand for professional journalism nationwide. All major cities have launched such efforts. However, by the late 1920s, there was much more emphasis on advertising and the expansion of circulation, and less interest in the kind of advocacy journalism that inspired revolutionaries.

France

Main article: History of the French press

Parisian newspapers were largely stagnant after World War I. The volume of distribution rose to six million per day from five million in 1910. The main success story in the post-war period was Paris Soir. which lacked any political agenda and was dedicated to providing a mix of sensational reports to aid distribution, and serious articles to build prestige. By 1939, it had a circulation of more than 1.7 million, twice that of its closest competitor, Le Petit Parisien. In addition to his daily door

The importance of studying Journalism:

Journalism: writing newspapers and magazines, writing stories and publishing them on news sites. It's all about letting the world know what's going on in the world. Hayley Gorzel, a seventh grade student at Dobie Jr. Journalism is very important in our world. It was important in the past and is still very important now.

According to the American Press Institute website, “The purpose and importance of journalism is to inform society about the information they need to live their lives. The information they need to make decisions about different things.”

There are many places where people can find information and news. News is shared on many different things like radio, television, social media, news websites, and newspapers.

Without journalism, the world would be ignorant. Journalism is important because it presents current and relevant information and news to the public. Benjamin Franklin said, “Anyone who forfeits the freedom of a nation must begin by judging freedom of speech.”
