Goals

To clarify, distinguish and differentiate the connotations and relationships between the journalism profession and the news media trade,
To clarify, distinguish and differentiate the connotations and relationships between the news media industry, and the marketing industry.
To define and assert a logical category hierarchy (based on an extroverted consensus-agreeable application of NPOV), in one respect defined as a linear spectrum— with journalism at higher end and propaganda at the lower.
