Broadcast journalism is the field of news and journals which are "broadcast", that is, published

by electrical methods, instead of the older methods, such as printed newspapers and posters.

Television journalism involves more than reporting the news on television. It also involves
researching and writing stories, collecting facts, following tips, and more.

Television journalism is the reason we have major television news shows whether those shows
are regarding world news, politics, sports or celebrities. The journalists who work to bring those
television shows to life may research stories, write, collect facts, follow tips, and present the
information to the public on television and more. Television journalism is not quite so different
from print journalism, although television journalists use a different platform to tell their
stories. Writing for media
