importance of journalism And responsibilities of j by kris1920 2014/05/25 05:25
Journalism is the investigation and reporting of
events, issues and trends to a broad audience for
different purpose. Journalisms role at the time
was to act as a mediator or translator between
the public and policy making elites. The journalist
became the middleman. When elites spoke,
journalists listened and recorded the information,
distilled it, and passed it on to the public for their
consumption.
Journalists have many roles to play commonly
as; watchdogs, investigators, moderators,
entertainers, analysts, informers, editors,
commentators, and advertisers. They are
community activists, agenda-setters, and voices
for the voiceless. They are public servants,
keepers of public record, protectors of democracy,
and promoters of public dialogue. Thanks to these
responsibilities media is playing, it has earned the
recognition of fourth estate.
The importance of journalism comes from the
peoples right to opinion and expression. Since
right to opinion and expression would not be a
reality without the press. People today depend
greatly on the press for being informed.
Journalism is taken as inseparable part of any
democratic system. The Press plays a vital role in
democratic society. It is an institution in its own
right. The Press has earned the recognition of
Fourth state. Journalism is the voice of the
voiceless and it plays the role of watch-dog in
our society. It is strong bridge between
concerning authorities and the people. It handles
all public issues. In fact, press is the peoples
open forum. Press makes such an environment
where people get information and be prepared to
take part in democracy. Peoples participation is
the foundation of democracy. Press is the pillar of
democracy.
Similarly, the main principles of journalism are;
Accuracy, Balance and Credibility. One of the
important responsibilities of journalist is to
maintain their principles in their reporting. The
information should be based on truth and facts
which provides accurate news. Apart from that,
journalist is responsible for giving space to every
one without biasness. While reporting one should
be balance. If we compare the same news from
two or three different newspapers, we find
distinction in terms of how much one reporter is
leaned towards certain groups or political parties.
In the other hand, citizens/ audiences should have
some sort of faith over media. Without credible
information, there would be no trust PRESS and
could have no strength. Thus maintaining
accuracy and balance provides credible
information.
