What is Journalism?

Journalism Journalism is a form of writing that tells people about things that really happened, but that they might not have known about already.

People who write journalism are called "journalists."

They might work at newspapers, magazines, websites or for TV or radio stations.

The most important characteristic shared by good journalists is curiosity.

Journalism comes in two forms: I.News II.Opinion

Online Journalism Blogs: Online diaries kept by individuals or small groups.

Discussion boards: Online question and answer pages where anyone can participate.

Wikis: Articles that any reader can add to or change.

The best journalism is easy to read, and just sounds like a nice, smart person telling you something interesting.

News  Breaking news: Telling about an event as it happens.

News Feature stories: A detailed look at something interesting that's not breaking news.

Opinion Editorials: Unsigned articles that express a publication's opinion.

Columns: Signed articles that express the writer's reporting and his conclusions.

Reviews: Such as concert, restaurant or movie reviews.
