Preferred term

criticism of journalism  

Definition

  • That journalism is important in American life is evident in the large amount of criticism that news media have always received. The country's early newspapers were hotly criticized for the stories they included or ignored, perceived political bias, cronyism with advertisers, and paying too much attention to the social and political elites rather than common people. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Criticism of Journalism]
