JOURNALISM

1. OKINAWA ROSETTA STONE

This stone is one of a number found on Okinawa Island in 1952.


The museum staff claimed both its meaning and date of origin are unknown.
These objects could be ancient or they could be more recent.

*The Rosetta Stone is a stele composed of granodiorite inscribed with three versions of a
decree issued in Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC. The stone was carved during the Hellenistic
period and is believed to have originally been displayed within a temple
2. Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg
(c. 1393–1406 – 3 February 1468)

A German inventor and craftsman who introduced letterpress printing to Europe with his
movable-type printing press.

* Johannes Gutenberg's work on the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he
partnered with Andreas Dritzehn—a man who had previously instructed in gem-cutting—
and Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill.
3. THE TATLER

The Tatler, Richard Steele's first journal, first came out on 12 April 1709, and appeared three
times a week: on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Steele wrote this periodical under the
pseudonym Isaac Bickerstaff and gave Bickerstaff an entire, fully developed personality.

Steele described his motive in writing The Tatler as "to expose the false arts of life, to pull off
the disguises of cunning, vanity, and affectation, and to recommend a general simplicity in
our dress, our discourse, and our behaviour"

* The Journal represented a new approach to journalism, featuring cultivated essays on


contemporary manners, and established the pattern that would be copied in such British
classics
4. PENNY PRESS

On July 24, 1830, the first penny press newspaper came to the market. Penny press
newspapers were cheap, tabloid-style newspapers mass-produced in the United States from
the 1830s onwards.

Sold for one cent, which made it available to all classes. The penny press newspapers
became more widely read because journalists made the effort to keep their content
understandable to less educated audiences.

* Penny papers emerged as a cheap source of news with coverage of crime, tragedy,
adventure, and gossip.
5. NEW YORK JOURNAL

New York Morning Journal


Joseph Pulitzer's younger brother Albert founded the New York Morning Journal in 1882.

New York Journal-American
In 1937, both newspapers, the morning paper known as New York American (since 1901)
and the evening paper New York Evening Journal merged in one publication renamed New
York Journal-American.

* The New York Journal is an example of "Yellow Journalism (exaggerated articles)," where
the newspapers competed for readers through bold headlines, illustrations, and activist
journalism. The paper infamously reported on and influenced events like the Spanish-
American War.
* Yellow journalism, the use of lurid features and sensationalized news in newspaper
publishing to attract readers and increase circulation, coined in 1890s.
6. MUCKRAKERS

The muckrakers were reform-minded journalists, writers, and photographers in the


Progressive Era in the United States (1890s–1920s) who claimed to expose corruption and
wrongdoing in established institutions, often through sensationalist publications.

Any of a group of American writers identified with pre-World War I reform and exposé
literature.

unpleasant information about people or organizations in order to make it public:
* Muckraking journalism is synonymous with in-depth investigative journalism that has an
impact and addresses subjects of importance to society.
7. CBS RADIO / RADIO BROADCASTING

CBS Radio was a radio broadcasting company and radio network operator owned by CBS
Corporation and founded in 1928.

* Radio broadcasting is the broadcasting of audio (sound), sometimes with related


metadata, by radio waves to radio receivers belonging to a public audience. In terrestrial
radio broadcasting the radio waves are broadcast by a land-based radio station, while in
satellite radio the radio waves are broadcast by a satellite in Earth orbit. To receive the
content the listener must have a broadcast radio receiver (radio). Stations are often affiliated
with a radio network that provides content in a common radio format, either in broadcast
syndication or simulcast, or both. Radio stations broadcast with several different types of
modulation: AM radio stations transmit in AM (amplitude modulation), FM radio stations
transmit in FM (frequency modulation), which are older analog audio standards, while
newer digital radio stations transmit in several digital audio standards.

For a time, wireless broadcasts were limited to coded dots and dashes.
But on December 24, 1906, Canadian-born physicist Reginald Fessenden changed that by
sending the first long-distance transmission of human voice and music from his station at
Brant Rock, Massachusetts.
8. DIGITAL JOURNALISM

The use of digital technologies to research, produce and deliver (or make accessible) news
and information to an increasingly computer literate audience.

Digital journalism is exactly what it sounds like: editorial content consumed through a digital
medium.

*The first type of digital journalism, called teletext, was invented in the UK in 1970.
Teletext is a system allowing viewers to choose which stories they wish to read and see it
immediately. The information provided through teletext is brief and instant, similar to the
information seen in digital journalism today.
