Journalism of ou days intro

The main mission of the journalist is to expose a fact to make it a well-founded information which is the characteristic of journalism but more and more, there is a kind of search for spectacle in information. They no longer just inform; they must impress the viewer and make him want to watch the news. Another point is that most of the newspapers no only want to expose the facts objectively, but also try to give their points of view across biased articles. To better understand what modern journalism entails, we can rely on 4 documents. The first one is an article of the BBC entitled “ABC raid: outcry as Australian police search public broadcaster” and written in June 2019. It states that a newspaper exposed confidential information about the Australian army so it was searched by a police raid. The second one is a video that deals with a man called Murdoch which has a monopoly on biased media in Australia, published by the CCN in May 2020. The third document is an article that is about tabloids in America, entitled “why we need the tabloids”, adapted from Ryan Linkof in July 2011. For my personal document, I have chosen a video made in 2021 by Johnny Harris, a filmmaker, a former journalist and a youtuber living in Washington D.C. This video is entitled “7 things I learned about Journalism”. But We will focus only on 2 things that he learned; The first is “Objectivity is a myth” and the second is “journalism is economic in its very nature”. The answer to our general issue is three-folds. First, newspapers try to orient people's thinking according to their own. Then, today, money is the first motivation of journalists to write their articles. Finally, journalism may violates the rights of some people.
