With the humongous force of the internet which has taken over the world, it is absolutely necessary to understand responsible journalism in today’s world.What professionals who wish to enter this field should keep in mind is that though the core principles, values and ethics of journalism pretty much remain the same, they have to be adapted and made relevant in the new media.

Broadcast Journalism: Is the End of Print Journalism Near?
Perhaps this article should start with a warning for all the nostalgia fans – be prepared for heartbreak – but then again perhaps the proverbial glass is still half full – it depends on how you look at it.Newspapers, those goliaths of educating the public about current affairs, bringing down corruption and standing up for the common man, are slowly dying as more and more people sip their morning coffee skimming over an iPad or mobile screen instead of slowly unfolding the freshly printed pages of the morning paper.The decline of print and broadcast media/newspapers began a long time ago, as early as the 1950s or 1960s when the television started to get more popular. People could turn on their TVs for the news with stories being conveyed to them as they happened, instead of having to wait for an afternoon or evening edition for a paper. Television ad revenues grew and the newspapers were sorely hit. Yet, newspapers survived by providing the kind of in-depth coverage that television news producers could only dream of doing in the limited time they had on air.

Traditionally, news sources were limited, and newspapers were completely dependent on a reporter’s sources to get a newsworthy story. However, times have changed. Today, everybody is recognizing the power of the people. The rise of this power has wrought changes whenever it has sprung up, and the media hasn’t been able to escape its effects either. The exact opposite is true, in fact, because the media has embraced this power and used it to give birth to a new form of journalism – citizen journalism. The rise of citizen journalism has redefined how news is collected and shared.

The Basics of Public Communication Explained
What is Public Communication?Public Communication consists of ‘public’ and ‘communication’. Let us first try to understand both of them.The word ‘public’ originated from the Latin publicus, which means mass population. The Oxford Dictionary succinctly describes the public as “Of or concerning the people as a whole.” ‘Communication’, on the other hand, is “The imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium.”In the broadest of terms, any communication carried out on a large scale involving a huge body of people qualifies as public communication. From televised speeches to radio broadcasts, newspaper columns and even addresses at public rallies, all fall under the umbrella term.
