UNIT 1. TELEVISION FOR JOURNALISMINTRODUCTIONT
his section deals with the distinction between the two broad streams of journalism, namely
print and
broadcast journalism.
Apart from these two streams,
web journalism, also known as
online or Internet journalism, is a recent addition to the means and methods of journalism. The section also examines the significance of television journalism, which is a specific area within broadcast journalism. We must be clear,
at the outset, that all journalists, whether those in print or in the broadcast media, are
journalists first and print or broadcast journalists afterwards. In other words, all journalists, regardless of which area
of journalism they belong to, share a common profession and perform a common social function. Having said that, however, it must also be noted that despite the commonalities shared by print and broadcast journalists, there are important differences in the choice and presentation of the stories they bring to the public.
These differences are dictated by the choice of medium – a story told in a newspaper is different in important ways from its broadcast or web equivalent.
Thus, there are three different areas of journalism print, broadcast and web journalism.
