Synopsis
According to Brian Duignan in a Journalism article on the Encyclopaedia
Britannica website, journalism was initially applied to the reportage of
current events in print. But with the development of time and many technologies
such as television, radio, and the Internet in the 20th century, reportage
broadcasting expanded to include all media, both print and electronic. The
first known journalistic product was a newsletter circulating in Ancient Rome
by Acta Diurna that appeared before 59 BC. Acta Diurna originally recorded
important daily events such as public speeches published daily and displayed in
prominent places. In China, during the Tang dynasty, there was a court circular
called Bao or "report" for government officials' Regular publications
first appeared in German and Antwerp cities around 1609. The first
English-language newspaper, The Weekly News, published in 1622. One of the
first daily newspapers, The Daily Courant, appeared in 1702.
By the end of the 20th century, research had shown that journalists as a
group were generally idealistic about their role in reveal the facts to the
public in an impartial manner.
Journalism in the 20th century was characterized by a growing sense of
professionalism. There are four important factors in this trend: (1) increasing
organizations of working journalists, (2) specializing in journalism education,
(3) developing literacy related to history, problems, and mass communication
techniques, and (4) and This is an increase in the sense of social
responsibility on the part of journalists.
Reflection
After studying the material "Introduction and history of
journalism", I became aware of the beginnings of
journalism. How the news first appeared, which was apparently initiated by Acta
Diurna in ancient Rome in 59 B.C.E. I knew at first that news was only posted
on print media that contained daily news that was then pasted in prominent
corners. Until then, news spread to electronic media such as television, radio,
and the Internet. Then as the age grew, to meet the increasing consumer demand
for up-to-the-minute and highly detailed reports, media outlets developed
alternative channels of deployment, such as online distribution, and
distribution. It is used for e-mail, and direct public interaction through
forums, blogs, user-generated content, and social media sites such as Facebook
and Twitter. No less important, I also came to know the parts contained in the
news such as headlines, namely news titles, bylines, namely the name of the
news writer, quotes, namely direct speech quoted in the news, and leads, namely
sentences that contain elements of 5W + 1H.
