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.
Separating fact from opinion. A fact is information that can be proved true through objective evidence. An opinion is a belief, judgment, or conclusion that cannot be proved objectively true. Much of what we read is a mixture of fact and opinion, and our job as readers is to arrive at the best possible informed opinion. Textbooks and other effective writing provide informed opinion—opinion based upon factual information.
