Journalism plays a crucial role in society as the cornerstone of a well-informed public. By investigating and
reporting on significant issues, journalists serve as watchdogs who hold those in power accountable. Unlike
other forms of media, journalism adheres to ethical standards that prioritize truth, objectivity, and fairness.
Through rigorous research and fact-checking, journalists provide the public with reliable information on
political events, social issues, and global affairs. This dedication to accuracy and impartiality helps citizens
make informed decisions, which is fundamental to the functioning of a democratic society.
The landscape of media and journalism has undergone significant transformations with the advent of
digital technology. Traditional media channels like newspapers, radio, and television have expanded to
include online platforms, social media, and blogs. While media as a whole has diversified in terms of
content and delivery, journalism has maintained its core principles of truth and accountability. However,
the rise of digital media has blurred the lines between professional journalism and user-generated content,
leading to challenges in distinguishing credible news from misinformation. Despite these challenges,
journalism continues to be a vital source of factual information amidst the proliferation of diverse media
content.
