IMPACT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
what is Journalism?
The question is what is really journalism mean and how do we benefit form if well the are many
ways to define
journalism it depends on who you may ask or how you can explain it. To define journalism we can say is a form of writing that tells people about things
that are really happened, but that they might not have known about already.
People who write journalism are called journalist. Journalist play a very important role in our society as they keep us updated us with daily reports and news, but we all aware that out there are good and bad journalist. Good journalist love to read a lot about important news as we as to check what is currently happening in our society, bad
journalist we can say that are those kind of journalists that create their own
stories that comes from their thoughts, they do not care what people say about
them. most of the time they report information that is not correct and true,
they only do that just to make more money on social media channels such as
newspaper and on internet.

Journalist and Public Relation
PR professionals works different from journalists should not confuse the two but the is a relationship in between. Journalist rely to much on PR professionals to get the sources of news they need and fast, basically we can say that social media is the main source and the tools that both PR professionals and Journalist use in order to disseminate information to the public and also a tool that allows people to create, share or exchange information as well as interacting with people and big brand. Journalists on my view spend 90 percent of their time on social media while PR professionals spend about 95 percent of their time socializing and interacting with other Public Relations Practitioners to learn or get more information. Journalists act very differently on social media when they want to report to channels. most of the journalists express them selves differently on social media by sharing opinions, thoughts and feelings in addition journalist are always objective when they report. click here to know more about PR and journalism. .jpg) |

Lastly Social Media consist of different social media accounts that journalist and PRPs professionals can use to communicate with people, companies and other organisation that uses social media such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, you tube, Slideshare, Flickr and many more. click here to see a video.
This sound interesting, Journalism and Public Relations plays a huge role and conveying information to the public. They both benefit from each other, Journalist get interesting stories from Public Relations Practitioner this is in a form of building relationship between the two. while the Public Relations want their stories about their brand to be published by the journalist in the newspapers.
ReplyDeleteYeah Mr Rabasotho i cannot add or subtract to statement both PRPs and journalists contribute a lot in social media plus the is a strong relationship in between.
DeleteI honestly feel public relation practitioners don't need journalists I mean they are their own journalists themselves.
ReplyDeletenice blog...We all know that there are professional journalists and some bizarre columnists,but if a journalist publishes information that is not true 'as you indicated in your post' then he/she runs a risk of being sued for defamation, misappropriation etc...I do however agree with your statement that journalists depend on PRP's and PRP's depend on Journalists
ReplyDeletei cannot add or subtract on your statement,.. i strongly agree with you Connie. Journalist are objective most of the time when they write their stories.
DeletePublic relations do not necessarily need journalist because PR people release publications such as news releases which shows that we can all be our own journalists
ReplyDeletei strongly i agree with you samke, PRPs are very creative in a way.
DeleteI agree with some of the things you wrote. very interesting and will definitely share with other people.
ReplyDeletethanks,il take that as compliment
DeleteAs future public relations practitioner i personally think we do not need journalist we can simply create social media accounts for the organization one work for and interact with our target audience .
ReplyDeleteyeah but what i personally think is that PRPs do help Journalist most of the time to publish relevant news and journalist gives us media coverage.
DeleteSocial media is one amazing form of communication, The facts highlighted are very intersting and one should know of such things.
ReplyDeleteyeah everything we do today involves media, who are we without media?
