Question: Discuss about the Journalismfor New York Times. Answer: The essay focuses on the two aspects of journalism. The essay will describe two chapters of journalism along with the examples from realities. Both the implication of theoretical framework in the real life media are described in the essay. Different concepts about the origin of journalism to the modern use of journalism are explained in a detailed manner. In the chapter 1 of the book, journalism is defined for the citizens of the country and for the democracy of the country. However, the purpose of journalism is providing information to the citizens of the country while they are self-governing and free. Author in the first chapter has stated that in the 17th century, journalism has emerged (Lasorsa, Lewis, and Holton 21). At that time, journalism did not attempt all categories of people. Later in America, journalism had spread in pubs, coffee houses, pubs and in political houses. There are two theories of journalism such as journalists theory of Democracy and theory of Interlocking public. In the electronic age, the theory of interlocking public is followed i.e. reaction of public is more important on the content of the news that is being posted in the media (Kovach and Rosenstiel 24). For instance, New York Times is a popular newspaper that deals into all categories of news that attracts people on reading it. On the other hand, it al so focuses on the reaction of the readers of the paper. The post of the attack of Bin Laden on the World Trade Center is a sensitive issue that will blow the minds of the readers of the topic (Friend and Jane 35). Third chapter of the book describes about the proper audiences of the journalists. The journalists have to think for the public first i.e. the loyalty of the citizens then towards another commitment. Many issues are regularly occurred in the world of media and journalism. The public thought that journalists usually exaggerate things in the media. Certain instances are responsible for the creation of this illusion in the minds of the audiences. Many journalists have concentrated on the news content irrespective of the consent of the citizens (Kovach and Rosenstiel 73). It will not work until the citizens are not highlighted. Hence the owner of the companies nowadays are committed to the citizens first and are hiring managers who will put the general mass as the first priority. Clear standards have to be set then it has to be conveyed in the general mass. For instance, media channels in television use public interactions for increasing the TRP and popularity of the channel among the ta rget customers. In Tucson, Forrest Carr of KGUN TV has broadcasted Viewers Bill of Rights that will increase the engagement of people (Hermida 661). Journalism is a concept that is created for the citizens of the countries of the world. The main purpose of journalism is to portray the realities of the societies to the people via media. However, it can be seen that in modern world, the purpose of journalism is exaggerated, but it can be controlled by the theoretical concepts explained in the two chapters of the book.
