From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"The main activity of journalism is the reporting of events by stating the journalistic parameters of who, what, when, where, and how and commenting on the significance of the event."
Shouldn't that be "stating the values of the journalistic parameters"? Prawn 15:57 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
I'd like to see education oriented information on the subject, such as prominent universities in the area, etc. Kylratix 22Jul03
Journalism is the practice of writing about current events. Those who practice journalism are known as journalists. Journalism is often referred to as the "first draft of history."
My comments on the above: the practice of writing is too narrow - add: in the mass media, and make mass media an entry word. some people write a diary with the same pretext. journalists should have a more meaningful definition too, from DOT or similar resources. Interestingly enough journalist does not exist as an entry in DOT. See editor, or author or writer instead, such as in this:

I wonder whether one could include similar links where the original definiton seems to be lacking depth. Apogr 09:36, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)
