Journalism is intrinsically linked to history, democracy and technology both ancient and modern. Journalist have suffered and died for their profession since Thucydides in 400BC Athens and continue to do so today as the Fourth Estate watching over the World's Governments and reporting in the public interest.
It can both reflect and influence the public's views and values as well as adapting to the way people wish to obtain this information. Technology is ever changing and the challenges facing journalism is maintaining professionalism in an age where delivering and receiving news is available to anyone, free of charge.
For me Journalism is ethics, be fair and be true, deliver the facts.
