Journalism is defined as the investigation and reporting of any sort of news related to any category i.e politics, law and order, business, sports, entertainment, cultural etc. to the masses. A true journalist is supposed to convey the truth as it is, without adding or deleting any information from that particular news just for the benefit of a particular stakeholder.
On the other hand, activism is defined as an intentional action or inaction to bring about social or political change in the society for the benefit of a particular stakeholder. This action is in support of or in opposition to one side of an often controversial argument. The purpose of activism is to bring about change in social, political, environmental or other category. A person can either follow journalism or activism but can not follow both at the same time.
The movie “Network” is a very good example of Activism, in which the anchorperson was using his channel in order to promote himself, his show and the overall ratings of his channel in order to make more money to the channel and at the same time, he was succeeded to bring about a change in the minds of his viewers
