What Are the Different Types of Journalism?

If you love storytelling and being 'in the know' then a career as a journalist may be right for you. Journalists serve an important role in a society by informing the public of events happening around the world.

The Journalism Field

While there are many different kinds of journalism, the field itself has some common requirements. Journalists should be curious, adventurous , talkative, and comfortable working under strict deadlines.

Types By Medium
Some journalists define themselves by the way they tell their stories. They may not stick to one particular area of the news, instead covering lots of different topics, always using the same medium. Print Journalism Print journalists generally report for newspapers or magazines. They may be full-time reporters for one particular publication or freelance writers who contribute to a variety of different publications. Oftentimes a print journalist will be paired with a photojournalist who will take pictures to complement the written story. Photojournalism Photojournalists are different from traditional photographers in that they are more interested in capturing images that tell a story than ones that just look nice. Photojournalists are generally highlytrained photographers who may have worked in a traditional photography medium like wedding photography before transitioning into journalism. Broadcast Journalism Broadcast journalism encompasses both television and radio news. There are two ways that journalists can be involved in broadcast journalism: behind the scenes or on the air. Journalists working behind the scenes do a lot of research and reporting, but their faces or voices will not be broadcast. Journalists who work on the air may do their own reporting or they read stories crafted by their colleagues.

Multimedia Journalism This is the newest field of journalism and also the fastest-growing. Multimedia journalism can encompass all the fields listed above because a web page can have a written story, still photos, video, and audio. Multimedia journalists are encouraged to have a wide set of storytelling abilities, as well as highly defined technical skills.

Types By Message
Some journalists define themselves not by the medium that they use to tell their stories but the kind of stories that they tell. Oftentimes journalists are assigned 'beats', particular topics that they will cover exclusively. These journalists have the opportunity to develop a high level of expertise in their beats and develop valuable contacts in the field. Some popular beats include: Sports Business Politics Arts and Culture Education Crime

Yellow journalism or the yellow press is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate wellresearched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.[1] Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism.[1] By extension "Yellow Journalism" is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion. Campbell (2001) defines Yellow Press newspapers as having daily multi-column front-page headlines covering a variety of topics, such as sports and scandal, using bold layouts (with large illustrations and perhaps color), heavy reliance on unnamed sources, and unabashed self-promotion. The term was extensively used to describe certain major New York City newspapers about 1900 as they battled for circulation. Frank Luther Mott (1941) defines yellow journalism in terms of five characteristics:[2] 1. scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news 2. lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings

3. use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudo-science, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts 4. emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips (which is now normal in the U.S.) 5. dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" against the system.

The term development journalism is used to refer to two different types of journalism. The first is a new school of journalism which began to appear in the 1960s. The idea behind this type of development journalism is similar to investigative reporting, but it focuses on conditions in developing nations and ways to improve them. The other type of development journalism involves heavy influence from the government of the nation involved. While this type of development journalism can be a powerful tool for local education and empowerment, it can also be a means of suppressing information and restricting journalists. The first type of development journalism attempts to document the conditions within a country so that the larger world can understand them. Journalists are encouraged to travel to remote areas, interact with the citizens of the country, and report back. This type of development journalism also looks at proposed government projects to improve conditions in the country, and analyzes whether or not they will be effective. Ultimately, the journalist may come up with proposed solutions and actions in the piece, suggesting ways in which they might be implemented. Often, this type of development journalism encourages a cooperative effort between citizens of the nation and the outside world. Adversarial journalism is reporting that takes on the establishment. It is the difference between breathlessly reporting that a new factory is coming to town and doing research on what the downside of the factory might be. 3 years ago
