What’s Journalism ?
Journalism is basically for gathering and disseminating information on a regular basis. History of journalism has nothing to do with the steady increase of speed in which any small incident gets elaborated. Furthermore, the speed with which it’s transmitted always needs some fake stories to make it interesting. When in the earlier days, the printing press was invented, there the words of mouth were the specialties for factual news to spread rapidly.
Currently the history of journalism can be known by keeping an eye over how in the earlier days news stories were spread. There were the travelers, used to spread the news to the mainland. And from there the news was then picked up by reporters and they used to spread news from town to town. Ancient people often used to write down any new information they gather. Transmission of news slowly become unreliable, and with the invention of the printing press fake stories has been claimed as real.
More About Journalism
From newspapers to television at present the news become of late as the main source of falsehood created everyday. Fake news or false propaganda always been the primary medium of journalists at present. Moreover, radio and television in the 20th century, and Internet in the 21st century made falsehood possible to spread. Journalism now carries forward as presenting speedy news reports with fake inputs added to it. By being commercial the news agencies at present can show to the people in India what their journalists been told. This way journalism has become over active and used to create news rather than reporting what’s factual.
