What is Journalism?
(Jay Rosen from PressThink website)
Journalism can be a commercial thing,
done for money, or a noncommercial
thing, done for love.
It may be done as a public service, a
way of entering into political debate, or
for the simple and practical reasons
people have always shared information
or ‘talk.’
