Public journalism- defining a democratic art

Article Abstract:

Journalism has the capability of disseminating information and providing a forum of discussion which are essential prerequisites of smooth functioning democracies. Journalists have to condition themselves to the rules and values for reflexively performing their duties under strict restrictions of time and space. The concept of One Journalism describes a culture of journalism identified by a single homologous manner of acting and thinking that is guided by unchanging rules. Public journalism has an obligation to review public life in addition to telling the news.

Gnats chasing an elephant: press criticism grounded in the public interest has yielded to media criticism that seeks consumer satisfaction

Article Abstract:

Those involved in press criticism are becoming less certain as the 21st century approaches about whether they are doing good and whether they are using appropriate forms. It may now be time for an honest review of press criticism. It is vital that press criticism in the 21st century is based in the journalist's working environment, subscribes to high moral standards, is well-written and approachable by everybody. Valid press criticism must support individual responsibility.
