TV journalism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Television journalism is a program section on television and is primarily defined by nonfictionality and an essential information component on which the broadcast is based. Well-known forms are news, magazine, reportage, documentary or talk shows .

TV journalism as program content

There is no clear definition of the term television journalism. Journalism is the "science of the mass media and their effect on the public". But in the media world, television journalism is more a content orientation of a television program than a science. This finding can also be found in the program report of the media companies, which roughly divide television into three program categories:

  1. fictional entertainment (= game plot)
  2. non-fictional entertainment (= shows and games)
  3. TV journalism (= information and entertainment offers)

In the first two program categories, entertainment is clearly in the foreground, while television journalism is characterized by a higher proportion of information (including advice and education), which of course does not have to rule out an additional entertainment factor. A subset of television journalism is television journalism, which is understood to mean “the creation of cinematic journalistic contributions to the mass medium of television”.
