Appearence of Journalism and democracy

In order to understand the relationship between democracy and journalism we have to understand three common classification and defects. American journalism is not a single thing. Its branches makes it more complicated. Journalism varies because of group of people. Different ethnic, cultural and religion groups has their own community and their tastes of news varies from group to group. As a result they have their own newspaper. The traditional newspapers and television media is not actually the representative of journalism. This is the age of globalization . The whole maintain a connection. as a result journalism changes its forms. Newspapers and television channels now focus on the international affairs, what happening around us and tried to present a true picture.

Models of journalism in western world consists of three types of journalism. First one is the liberal model. Liberal model basically have three characteristics. One characteristic of liberal model is commercial newspaper take place of other media sources. Here the great thing is that when commercial newspaper take place it displace the newspaper related with different social and political groups. as a result they can focus more to the international affair. Second one is government interruption is less than any other system. Once US government tried to tried to limit the activities of newspaper in their own boundary. Liberal model broke it and focus to the whole world. The third and last character is to establish a strong form of journalistic professionalism.

Second model is polarist pluralized model. a significant different media system appears in Mediterranean countries of Europe. Commercial and market oriented media established near the end of twentith century. State played a vital role to control media in southern Europe because political parralism is high in southern Europe. Newspapers and media takes place in favour of different political parties. It involved more politically rather than news presentation.

The third and last model of journalism is the democratic corporatist model. The model is influenced by liberal model. These model also demands the freedom of press. when commercial media industry grew up they made a link with political groups but their intention was not to make money. The tried to figure out the true scenario in front of people.

These three type of journalism appears as a demand of time. more or less all they are linked with political parties or sometimes they got influenced by politics. Political culture varies from place to place but European media industry put less emphasis on politics. Their concentration was commercialization and trade.
