Unit 1 Journalism

This unit was very useful because we learned how to organize our ideas when you need to write a composition. We knew the right structure of a paragraph beginning with the topic sentence, continued with the main idea, controlling idea and concluding idea. This way is the correct form to do any write work.

Journalism is a discipline of writing. News-oriented journalism is sometimes described as the "first rough draft of history", because journalists often did record important events, however producing news articles on short deadlines. While under pressure to be first with their stories, news media organizations usually edit and proofread their reports prior to publication, adhering to each organization's standards of accuracy, quality, and style.

Many news organizations claim proud traditions of holding government officials and institutions accountable to the public, while media critics have raised questions about holding the press itself accountable.Digitalization of news production and the diffusion capabilities of the internet are challenging the traditional journalistic professional culture. The concept of participatory or citizen journalism proposes that amateur reporters can actually produce stories inside or outside professional media outlets, ending the information production monopoly of the press.
