5+Keys+to+Journalism

 "Isolating the differences in the American Media"

"There are five key journalism standards- : accuracy, balance, holding government accountable, and speration of news form editorial advertising, and checks on profit." - these help to distinguish between the four categories of media: "traditional journalism, tabloid journalism, advocacy journalism, and entertainment." > There are two walls in traditional news organizations. "The first wall is betwee news and editoral, meaning that the news operation does not slant the news- for what it covers- based on the opinions that appear on the editorial page. > -the second wall is between advertising and news. > -tabloids are similar to tv in that respect, "in major cities and small markets, local television stations have all but abandoned meaningful coverage of politics and policy." > Tabloids want profit first and then obligation to be entertaining second. > -some facts may be true but it lacks "balance" since more often than not it doesn't include both sides of the story. >
 * News organizations such as the //New York Times//, //Time//, and local newspapers have all five journalism standards.
 * Tabloids fail to represent all keys, they are like "ice cream" only offering little nourishment. It is "one that puts profit as its top priority."
 * There is, however journalism that isn't just based on making a profit, it's called __advocacy__ and its sole purpose is to influence. TV is to tabloid as documentaries are to advocacy.
 * Lastly there is entertainment journalism. It shares its crave for profit and being entertaining along with tabloids. HOWEVER it serves as news "indirectly" compared with tabloid's often total lack of newsworthy content.
