Noun explanation: the concept of journalism

Journalism is the whole system of mass media concepts, values and modes of operation, which requires journalists to report facts objectively, truly and accurately. Its core idea is objectivity and its purpose is to serve all the people.

The cultural differences between the East and the West and the national conditions of China determine that journalistic professionalism cannot be simply transplanted from the West to China. In China, the limitations of mass communication make it difficult for traditional media to be completely objective and critical. For a long time, China's journalistic professionalism only reflected the personal integrity of journalists, but it didn't really take root.

At the same time, under the environment of market economy, the moral standard of news reporting is deteriorating, and the increasingly fierce commercial competition leads to the increasingly serious news anomie and ethical deficiency. On the one hand, independent and objective journalistic professionalism is struggling, on the other hand, interest-driven in market competition is becoming more and more common.

Therefore, the problems faced by journalism professionalism follow one after another. Under the double pressure of political control and commercial bribery, the real journalistic professionalism is struggling.
