Since the message isn't the journalist's subjective opinions or personal narrative, it is distinctive. Instead, the journalist serves as a conduit, objectively reporting events as they transpired or are happening based on their observations and learnings. By virtue of a few recognizable traits and practices, journalism can be identified from other activities and products. These characteristics set journalism apart from other types of communication and serve as democratic societies' primary foundation for its necessity. According to history, society tends to have more news and information the more democratic it is. To write for a newspaper or magazine is to practice journalism. Information is conveyed by writing in newspapers and publications. A natural curiosity about a book or novel is present in all people. Journalists can satiate their readers' curiosities by writing about news and current events in newspapers and journals. This book's introduction to journalism in all forms is engaging and reliable. The book's purpose is to illustrate how journalists go about their work while also providing firsthand accounts from individuals who carry it out every day. The communication revolution and evolving views on mass media are both factors in the book's creation." -- Back cover Journalism: concept, objective and functions -- Types of journalism -- Development journalism -- Principles of journalism -- Major theories of press -- The freedom, press and democracy -- Reporting for print media -- Editing for print media.
