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.
