Journalism vs Activism

Journalism is the

· Collecting,

· Writing,

· Editing,

· Presenting

Of news or news articles in newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcasts. But when a journalist writes in a way to support a cause, to highlight an issue that needs to be solved or when he fights for the rights through his writings, then the journalist becomes an activist. For example, if a journalist writes to spread information of how whales are being captured and killed, then he becomes an activist. But on the other hand, a person who is only an activist will not be able to prorogate the issue to the masses easily if he is not a journalist, and people might also not take his acts into consideration.
