Journalism is the work of gathering, checking and writing the news. Study journalism, investigative journalism, a career in journalism.
The forms are named: investigative journalism digs, gonzo journalism puts the reporter in the story, and citizen journalism is done by people who are not paid for it. What separates journalism from other writing is the obligation to verify. Note journalist; journalese, meaning the peculiar language of newspapers; and that journalism's economics have changed more in twenty years than in the previous hundred.
