Political Journalism

Hello again, dear Journalism friends!

There is good news and bad news: The bad news first. I have not gotten any answer regarding the publication of my article yet. Apparently, the editors really take their time. I have talked to several people and did some research and this is obviously a very common "problem". So I will wait for at least two more weeks until I hear back from the editors...

The good news: I have finished the music journalism module and took the exam very successfully! :)

So off to the next: I started with political journalism. Now, we all know what controversy is going on right now when it comes to political journalism. Fake news, objectivity, the "death" of journalism even is being discussed online, specifically. I don't believe in it. I think this is just a current state of mind whenever there are changes in the political sphere. I don't think journalists are worse than before. I think this negativity just "happens" whenever there is a change. It might be very well the case that journalism changed through the digital age. What do you think?

Anyway, I think we should even focus more on these "negative" aspects (however, the negativity is very questionable) to maybe improve them and turn them around for the better. That's why I chose to focus on political journalism. Besides, it is a very interesting topic.

In my next entry, I will give some more insights on the module book. So far, I've reached only page 10 which is by far not enough yet to give an adequate evaluation.

Until next week around the same time. Thank you for reading my blog!
