Journalism aims to provide the public with news and information through dissemination and analysis. It can take various forms from print to broadcast media like newspapers, television, and digital platforms. In modern democratic societies, the news media and access to free information play important roles by informing public affairs and enabling citizens to participate in the political process.

2. Journalism is a method of inquiry and literary style that aims
to provide a service to the public by the dissemination and analysis
of news and other information. Journalistic integrity is based on the
principles of truth, disclosure, and editorial independence.
Journalistic mediums can vary diversely, from print publishing to
electronic broadcasting, and from newspaper to television channels,
as well as to the web, and to digital technology.
In modern society, the news media is the chief purveyor of
information and opinion about public affairs. Journalism, however, is
not always confined to the news media or to news itself, as
journalistic communication may find its way into broader forms of
expression, including literature and cinema. In some nations, the
news media is still controlled by government intervention, and is not
fully an independent body.

3. In a democratic society, however, access to free information plays a central
role in creating a system of checks and balance, and in distributing power equally
between governments, businesses, individuals, and other social entities. Access to
verifiable information gathered by independent media sources, which adhere to
journalistic standards, can also be of service to ordinary citizens, by empowering
them with the tools they need in order to participate in the political process.
The role and status of journalism, along with that of the mass media, has
undergone profound changes over the last two decades with the advent of digital
technology and publication of news on the Internet. This has created a shift in the
consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through
e-readers, smartphones, and other electronic devices, challenging news organizations
to fully monetize their digital wing, as well as improvise on the context in which they
publish news in print. Notably, in the American media landscape, newsrooms have
reduced their staff and coverage as traditional media channels, such as television,
grapple with declining audiences. For instance, between 2007 and 2012, CNN edited
its story packages into nearly half of their original time length.

4. This compactness in coverage has been linked to broad audience attrition,
as a large majority of respondents in recent studies show changing preferences in
news consumption. The digital era has also ushered in a new kind of journalism in
which ordinary citizens play a greater role in the process of newsmaking, with the
rise of citizen journalism being possible through the Internet. Using video camera
equipped smartphones, active citizens are now enabled to record footage of news
events and upload them onto channels like YouTube, which is often discovered and
used by mainstream news media outlets. Meanwhile, easy access to news from a
variety of online sources, like blogs and other social media, has resulted in readers
being able to pick from a wider choice of official and unofficial sources, instead of
only from traditional media organizations.
