Journalism Glossary. Set 24. Direct Quote, Dogblogging, Dowdification | The Dispatch

Journalism has more definitions than one can ever imagine. 'The first draft of the history' perhaps best describes the profession which is believed to be one of the oldest in the world. Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on recent events. The word journalism applies to the occupation, as well as citizen journalists using methods of gathering information and using literary techniques. Journalistic media include print, television, radio, the Internet, and, in the past, newsreels. As in the legal profession, science or medicine, journalism also uses special words that make up the language of newsrooms the world over. The Dispatch has put together a useful glossary of journalism words for the benefit of journalists, journalism students and anyone who wants to understand the profession closely.
