Academic Studies English - Reading Comprehension: Journalism
Journalism is writing designed for publication in a newspaper or a magazine; in addition, the word is now applied to reporting in the electronic media - TV, radio, Internet. Ideally, this type of writing is meant to be a direct presentation of facts on subjects of current interest, free from all opinion or bias. This is called objective writing. When writing contains opinions, bias, or an interpretation of the facts, it is called subjective writing.
The Language of Journalism aims to provide an accessible, wide-ranging introductory textbook for a range of students. The book explores the significance of a range of linguistic practices occurring in journalism, demonstrating and facilitating the use of analysis in aiding professional journalistic and media practice. The book introduces the differences in language conventions that develop across media platforms. It covers all the key journalistic mediums available today, including sport, online and citizen journalism alongside the more standard chapters on magazine, newspaper and broadcast journalism.
