Journalism is
collecting, writing and reporting news and
more broadly, it includes the process of
editing and presenting the news articles.
Journalism applies to various media
including, but not limited to, news papers,
magazines, radio and television.
Also www, online radio, internet tv, bloggers, online journals, photographers and any other new media becoming more and more part of journalism work. The concept of participatory or citizen journalism proposes that freelance reporters can actually produce their own stories. Online journalists have to be considered as 21st century journalists and be treated equally to print, television and radio journalists
Freedom of the
Press is a right of all free people. The
extension of that right to electronic media
has been established with the online
revolution in the Internet. No longer is
that right granted only to print
media.
The media landscape has changed forever. There is no sector of the economy that comes near to generating the performance of the INTERNET, which has established itself firmly in all areas of life and continues to expand. And even so, today we only see the tip of the iceberg. The markets of the future have merely been scratched. The perspectives of this medium as viewed by the experts are gigantic.
In the next few years the INTERNET will
have a definite effect on our business
world and on the work environment. New jobs
will be created, new markets are going to
be explored with new methods. Conventional
communication systems shall fall by the
wayside. Our present technology shall be
history. No future-orientated enterprise
will be able to secure its existence
without taking this inescapable situation
into account. Also the traditional
journalism must adapt to these new
media.

The free and open Internet we need
and value is in danger!
Often country governments, authoritarian regimes, dictators, and cartels of phone companies control the access to the Internet. They want to reserve the right to censor free speech and block any applications they don't like on the network. The Wikileaks affair and recent events in North Africa and Mid-East have shown how access to the Internet can be easily disrupted.
