Just a short question for all of you out there: do you think there is a growing gap between journalism and media? A teacher mentioned that today in one of my classes only briefly, but it stuck with me all day. Now that I think about it, I think there really is a bigger difference between media and journalism nowadays.
Journalism makes me think of something more legitimately scholarly or fact-based, with a style of writing meant for readers who aren't simply interested to know about the latest scandal. Some types of media, on the other hand, like tabloids and celebrity magazines are hard to call journalism. I can't say that those gossip columns are real journalistic work, right?
It's sad that the media is so warped that there now is such a large distinction between the two: journalism vs. the media.
