Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events,
facts, ideas, and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at
least some degree of accuracy. The word, a noun, applies to
the occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the
organizing literary styles.
The appropriate role for journalism varies from country to country, as do perceptions of
the profession, and the resulting status. In some nations, the news media are controlled
by government and are not independent.[1] In others, news media are independent of the
government and operate as private industry. In addition, countries may have differing
implementations of laws handling the freedom of speech, freedom of the press as well
as slander and libel cases.
The proliferation of the Internet and smartphones has brought significant changes to the
media landscape since the turn of the 21st century. This has created a shift in the
consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through e-
readers, smartphones, and other personal electronic devices, as opposed to the more
traditional formats of newspapers, magazines, or television news channels. News
organizations are challenged to fully monetize their digital wing, as well as improvise on
the context in which they publish in print
