Journalism the act of reporting, writing, editing photographing, or broadcasting news. In the early years of journalism it was mostly done by hand. It took much longer than it does today. Over time Journalism has evolved from writing by hand to typewriters to computers. With the use of computers it makes it easier to edit and share information.
All of journalism is protected by the first amendment. The first basically says congress cannot make any laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Although journalist do not work for the government, the government is what allows them to do their job.
One of the first american newspapers was Benjamin Franklins Poor Richard’s Almanack. This newspaper was a succesful one. It was succesful because it had items in it the interested the people like,weather reports, puzzles, proverbs or suggestions, and other tips for living in the colonies. Benjamin Franklins for of news is still somewhat used today.
