Journalism refers to the production and distribution of reports on recent events. The word journalism applies to the occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information and organising literary styles. Journalistic mediums include print, television, radio, Internet and in the past: newsreels.

The press is like the air, a chartered libertine.
William Pitt, to Lord Grenville (About 1757).
Journalism
Did Charity prevail, the press would prove
A vehicle of virtue, truth, and love.
William Cowper, Charity, line 624.
Journalism
As for modern Journalism, its not my business to defend it. It justifies its own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.
