WHAT IS JOURNALISM?

What is journalism? Journalism is information. It is communication. It is the events of the day distilled into a few words, sounds or processed by the mechanics of communication to satisfy the human curiosity of the world that is always eager to know what's new.

Journalism is basically news. But journalism may also be entertainment and reassurance, to satisfy the human frailty of a world that is always eager to be comforted with the knowledge.

Today the news media are swamped by the very availability of news. There is simply more of it than ever before - unimaginably more, available to many people. This is a transformation that has been achieved in a little over 100 years.

When Admiral Lord Nelson died aboard the Victory after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, it took two weeks for the news to reach the Admiralty in London (a young lieutenant of the Royal Navy brought dispatches personally, sailing in the sloop Pickle to Plymouth and riding to London). It was some hours before important people in on heard the news, some days before it reached the other cities of Britain. There must have been outlying villages that the news took even longer to reach.

When President John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, in November 1963, the news of his death was known around the whole world in a matter of seconds. The political leaders of Russia and China, the financial manipulators in Geneva, the obscure tribesmen of Borneo all heard the news simultaneously.

This is a profound change in the pattern of human communication. It has taken place in hardly more than one man's lifetime.

What happens now? The bedside transistor radio switches itself on with the alarm. Mother has her radio on in the kitchen as she cooks breakfast. The kids have their radios switched to Radio One with its mixture of pop music and news flashes. Father glances at the morning paper over breakfast, then gets into the car and turns on "Today" as he drives to work. After supper they turn on the telly and sit down to an evening's viewing. Mother may read the evening paper if there is a sports programme which she finds boring.

It is an immense change. These are the people for whom journalists are working. They have to take account of these social changes, which have occurred in most countries of the world.
