What Happen To Journalism


Journalism is the activity which includes all gathering, processing, creating, informing news and information from the sources to the readers. It refers to production of reports on recent events or problems which are social concerning. Journalism has various forms throughout centuries: newsreels, handwriting, print, television, radio and now is the Internet. Moreover, the true journalism has been dying day by day since social media and fake news increasing every day. Nowadays, our world is developing and becoming smarter, virtual world has strong growth and popular as the rise of the user demand. People tend to look up on the phone every time, they spend their day chatting and reading tabloids to entertain their personal life, journalism is in very danger. How can readers know where to trust? Which sources do the writer of those tabloids use to create news? Frankly, we can’t deny the fact that what we are using to entertain today is not trustworthy because instead of informing the audiences about what really happening around them, some news tended to deliver fake news to the audiences. And it is more like a tool for those tabloids to make money. Think back to the Yellow Journalism in 1898 which caused Spanish-American Wars. Journalism had been out of control and being distorted to make a big amount of money and benefits. Willliam Radolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer are the example, the two newspaper owners who pushed Yellow Journalism to the wars. In addition, journalism is not only being made up and distorted but also be forgotten. People in different level of economic ladders have different concerns and worries about their own lives that they tend to be selfish and it led to miscommunication. Instead of getting to know what is happening to the world, they would think about how to make money to pay for their life as well as improving their lives standard.
