Journalism is investigating and reporting of events, issues and trends to a target audience. The ideal aim of a journalist is to investigate and report factual events and happenings that take place in the society. The journalistic reporting is aimed at being the reflection of the society and state facts as facts.
Activism consists of intentional action to bring about social, political, economic or environmental change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of an often controversial argument. Mostly, activism is a term associated with actions and reaction and ideologies of the opposing party.
Journalism is what is expected of the news channels and their journalists, hosts, and the extended team alike. However, in today’s times most of channels and their stakeholders are involved in activism more than fulfilling their journalistic responsibilities. The lines between stating the facts and putting across the opinions are constantly being blurred across most mediums, especially electronic media.
