Journalism has as its main activity the reporting of events — stating who, what, when, where, why and how, and explaining the significance and effect of events or trends. Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television, radio, magazines and, since the end of the 20th century, the Internet.\n\nGenerally, publishers and consumers of journalism draw a distinction between reporting — "just the facts" — and opinions (such as editorials, the official opinions of the paper, and op-ed columns, "opposite the editorial page" commentary). However, this distinction sometimes can break down. Journalists may unintentionally fall prey to propaganda or disinformation. Journalists may give a biased account of facts by reporting selectively, for instance, focusing on anecdote, giving a partial explanation of actions, or engaging in "gotcha journalism." Foreign reporting may become more susceptible to bias, because the writers or editors of a newspaper in a given geographical area may find it more difficult to check the facts in reports about distant places. Budget cuts also can affect the bias of a story if they affect a writer or editor's resources.

News Editor is the person who has the responsibility of all the news that has been planned to publish. He is the one who has the responsibility to taken care all his journalist task.\n\nChief Sub Editor, is the sub section head, means like politic chief sub editor. They have the responsibility to collecting all the news from their section and editing the news before publishing. \n\nCopy editor is someone who check the spell, the grammar, everything related to news that has been written by the journalist. \n\nHow to write a caption, grab the main idea of the picture. Think of the human side or something that will attract your reader. You don't have to put all the 4 W + 1 H (where, when, why, what and how). \n\nYou need the 4 W + 1 H if you have to write a lead of the news (the main paragraph or the 1st paragraph).

If you were a reporter and go to an accident one hour after it happens, how would you report the story? You report that one car smashed into another. You also interview witnesses. But what happens if the witnesses are giving you different stories (which happens all the time)? You report what you see and what the witnesses say even if the stories are different.\n\nThat's exactly what I see happening here.

I always always wanted to be a journalist and be the one to get the 'scoop' of the day... then after going to college I wanted to work in radio and become a sound engineer.... \nI did neither of these things.... I have become a housewife, and it is the most satisfying job I have ever had (I know that sounds cliche)... \nI still would like to become a writer or novelist.... maybe one day??

Tell him to read. Alot of journalists write books. These will give him examples of successful writing styles, and learn about the experiences that journalists deal with performing their craft. Get him in advanced English and History. English will help him with his writing skills, and history has been essentally written by journalists. Get him in the school paper or some other extra cirricular activity. Find out if your local paper or TV station has any internships for high school kids. These will give him excellent experience, an opportunity to see if journalism is really for him, and be an excellent line on his resume. But most important read. My suggestion All the President's Men by Woodward and Bernstein or type sports journalism into amazon and see what pops up. If y'all have a local paper (something published weekly or bi-monthly found outside restaurants or shops for free) see what they could do with a high schoolers prospective.

you can do this.\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------\na national daily does not "attain perfection" because there is never enough time overnight to collect information, edit it, format the pages before the deadline to start printing (when is this? maybe midnight).  every newspaper sold has errors in it.  A key theme is SPEED, everything has to be done quickly.  Every day.\n\nMuch of the information in a newspaper is sent to them instead of searched out by a reporter.   eg Firms' financial results, government statistics, law changes, weather forecasts, TV programs....\n\nIDEA\nYou could pick a specific news item, perhaps the report of a football game and follow it from the reporter watching the game, his report and photos being edited because he wrote too much, though to formatting, deciding which page and which position it will be on.  Then printing, distribution to a vendor, you buy it and read the football report on your favourite team.\n\nHey, I wish I had this project!   have fun

I met someone new and helped her return to writing after she had a head injury, using speech recognition software.  She had been a well-known journalist and I'm hoping that she can return to work soon.  Besides, talking to your computer and watching it write, is fun!

This is a horrible situation. If you have solid proff that supports your statements you should be able to find a PR firm that would help you. I work as a PR rep and I know something like this is very costly because of the Crisis Management that will be involved once the story breaks. But if you are only interested in doing a news blast to see if the media is interested in your story, you can also sign up for limited PR services such as news alerts which is about 1/100th less than a full PR service.  I believe that this is important for people to learn about.

pre-qualities? \n\nhonestly, you can't be a journalist if you make up random words like that. Try a thesaurus. Grammar knowledge is very important, because editing is a lot of time. \n\nBe aware of deadlines, word counts, and natural writing abilities are required. \n\nREAD READ READ! Read everything you can, so you will be prepared for any story that gets thrown your way. \n\ngood luck!

"Done with"?\n\nI doubt you've ever read an issue of the NYT.\n\nLook up the definition of investigative journalism, I believe all your answers lie there.

You could become a professional book reviewer. There are many newspapers and magazines that publish book reviews, usually from specialists in the field. Library Journal publishes reviews of new books coming out. (It seems that one has to specialize in one field or genre to keep up with what is being published.) I think that journalism would be a field where one might eventually be a book reviewer.

do you mean the impact from being interviewed by a member of the media - i have done that several times. i found it to be a bit stressful since you really have to think about what you are going to say to avoid being mis-represented or mis-quoted. i also worried later about whether the article would run or not and how people would react. mostly the response was positive.
