Private Journal 1: Introduction to Journalism
Important: This is a private journal. It will not be graded or seen by your peers.
In this module, we will be learning about the history and the principles of journalism. We will study the
history of journalism first. Before we begin, take a moment to think and write:
What is journalism? How did journalism begin? In the early days, how did people share and receive
important information? How has that changed over time?
Take five minutes to write the thoughts that come to your mind. Don't worry about mistakes. Only you
will see this.

If people were literate, or able to read and write, they could learn
about births and deaths, marriages, and the results of legal trials.
Fun Fact: The Latin word diurna is the root of the modern English
word journal.
Around the same time in China, a similar thing was happening. The
Chinese government sent out official reports, called dibao from the
capital to local governors. The governors edited the reports. This
means they decided which information was important for local
people to read. They wrote new editions, or versions, of the reports.

courtesy of the Getty's Open Content They carved the reports onto woodblocks and printed many copies.
Program They posted the reports in public places for people to
read. Woodblock printing was more efficient, or quicker and easier,
than carving into stone. Printing allowed people to make multiple
copies of a document for the first time.

Throughout history, people learned about current events through
posted announcements and word of mouth. Everything changed
with the invention of movable-type printing presses, machines with
small metal parts that move so that any text could be created and
then many identical copies made. The earliest known movable-type
printing press was created in East Asia in the 10th Century CE.
In 1440, Johannes Gutenberg built the first movable-type printing
press for a Latin alphabet. This was the first time that the English
language could be printed quickly and efficiently.
The printing press changed the way that people got their news. It
was now much quicker and cheaper to print texts and almost
anybody could do it.

and books. As more and more written material was published, more
and more people became literate, or able to read and write;
however, government still controlled what people wrote.
In Europe, the printing press led to a new type of media, single-page
newsletters called corantos. These early newspapers had
information about wars and other current events as well as
philosophical discussions. Some corantos were critical of powerful
organizations like the government and the Church. The
government censored them, meaning they stopped people from
writing or talking about topics they didn't like. The government only
wanted people to write propaganda, that is information that helps
the government,
"Early Printing Press" was
originally published in The In England, the government passed a law which said that anyone

permission, or license. Printers who had a government license

under Public Domain, Creative government was able to control what information was being shared.
Commons Zero 1.0
The government gave permission to printers who published stories
they liked and refused or removed licenses for people who
published stories they didn’t like. The government was able to
remove and destroy any publication considered offensive. They
could arrest people who wrote, printed and published information
that they didn't like.

In England, in 1644, John Milton wrote and published a famous
coranto called Areopagitica. This speech called for the freedom of the
press, the right to report news without being controlled by the
government. Many of the ideas that Milton wrote about are very
important to the modern principles of journalism and human rights.

The History of Journalism 2: 1690 – Present
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
In the last lesson, we looked at origins of journalism and talked about the ways that journalism
was censored by governments. In this lesson we are going to look at the steps that allowed
journalism to become more independent and freer from government control. We will also talk
about the different ways that people get their news.
Watch the video or listen to the audio. Try to take notes on the dates and names you hear
because this will help you play the game that follows this lesson.
For most of the 18th century, governments still controlled what people wrote. For example, in
the USA in 1722, a young Benjamin Franklin took over as editor of a newspaper called The New-
England Courant, because his older brother was in jail. The government accused him of writing
things that were not true.
The Fourth Estate
In 1787, Edmund Burke, a politician, was making a speech in the British Parliament. He argued
that the press should be allowed to report on the House of Commons of Great Britain. He spoke
about the three traditional parts of European governments commonly known as the Three
Estates (the church, the nobility, and the common people). Then he pointed to the journalists
and called them the Fourth Estate. He meant that writing the truth was an important part of
governing a country. We still call journalism the Fourth Estate today.
The First Amendment
A few years later, in 1791, ten amendments to the US Constitution called the Bill of Rights
became a law. The first amendment talked about freedom of religion, freedom of speech and
also freedom of the press. The First Amendment protects journalists’ rights by making sure the
government cannot control the information or opinions that journalists publish.
Even though journalism was no longer controlled by the government, most newspapers in the
early 19th century were biased, meaning they only told one side of the story or one point of
view and were read by people who agreed with their opinion.
In 1835, however, a newspaper called The New York Herald was started with the goal of
providing unbiased news that everyone could enjoy. This newspaper also tried to be politically
independent, not preferring one political party over another.
6
The Invention of the Telegraph
In the 1850s, newspapers moved from being just local to national. As technology improved, it
became easier to print and distribute many more newspapers.
The invention of the telegraph revolutionized journalism again. Before the telegraph, journalists
relied on government reports and mail delivery to receive their information and write their
reports. The telegraph made it possible to quickly share information across long distances, even
international borders and oceans.

unhealthy practices in Chicago’s meatpacking factories and the bad conditions for the workers.
After people read The Jungle, people wanted to change the laws. This strong public reaction
pushed the government to create the Food and Drug Administration, the nation’s first
consumer protection agency.
Although newspapers continued to be popular throughout the 20th century, by the 1920s, they
also had to compete with newsreels and radio broadcasts. Listening to news on the radio
allowed the whole family to sit down and hear the news at the same time. They could also
listen to things live as they were happening instead of waiting until the next day to read about
them.
In the 1950s television became popular and nearly every family
in the USA had one. People could now see pictures as well as
hear people talk about the news in a live broadcast.
The internet became popular in the 1990s and online
newspapers began to replace print copies. Today over half the
adults in the USA get their news from Twitter or Facebook.

Language Focus: Talking about the Past
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
Hello, welcome to this language focus lesson on the past tense. We've been talking about the
history of journalism which means, we've been using different forms of the past
tense. You watched several videos, completed a survey, and played a game. While you were
watching the videos were you taking notes?
Take a look at those sentences. There are two forms of the past tense being used there, the
simple past, and the past progressive, sometimes called the past continuous. In this lesson,
we're going to talk about the structure and meaning of the simple past and the past
progressive. We'll also talk about when we
should use each of these forms. Let's start with the simple past.
Simple Past
When an action begins and ends in the past, then we use the simple past.
Example: Before this video, you watched a video, completed a survey and played a game.
We can change most verbs into the past tense simply by adding -ed or just -d to the end of the
verb.
For example: played, watched, completed.
9
Irregular Forms
You may notice that there are many verbs that do not take an -ed ending. For example: The
technology was not available to print the news before the Gutenberg press. In this sentence, the
verb to be is put in the past. This is an irregular verb.
Here's another example. In China, people read the messages from the government called the
Dibao. Here, the verb to read is in the past.
There are about 200 irregular verbs. It's worth memorizing these forms, because many of these
verbs are quite common. For example,
think thought
take took
speak spoke
A list of the most common irregular verb forms can be found at the end of this
For example: While I was watching the video, I was taking notes.
This means that there was a duration, a period of time, when you were watching and taking
notes. Similar to the simple past, this is an event that began and ended in the past. But with the
past progressive, the audience, the listener or reader, knows that it happened for a longer time,
not just a moment.
10
"Simple Past and Past Progressive" by FHI 360 is licensed under CC BY 4.0
Here, you can tell that the speaker was researching perhaps for many minutes or hours. The
editor called during that time. We don't know exactly when the editor called, but we know
what the speaker was doing at the time.
Here's another example. While many countries were looking for alternatives to gas powered
cars, Tesla introduced the electric automobile.
While and When
Notice that while is often used to introduce the past progressive. For example: While I was
watching the video about the history of journalism, I was taking notes. While many
countries were looking for alternatives to gas powered cars, Tesla introduced the electric
automobile.
When is often used with the simple past. For example, I was researching the story when my
editor called.
Summary
▪ Actions that start and end in the past use the simple past or present progressive forms.
▪ Use the past progressive to show what was happening when something else happened.
▪ Use the simple past if you are just talking about one event that began and ended in the
past.
▪ There are many irregular past forms in English. It is helpful to memorize these
▪ Use the words while and when to use both forms together.

Stories about injuries are a great way to practice using the past simple and
the past progressive. Almost always, these stories involve something that
happened quickly and interrupted another action in progress.
Think about a time that you hurt yourself. What were you doing? What
happened?

Example 1: A few years ago, I was riding a bicycle. I wasn't looking where I was going. I rode into a
ditch. I fell off my bicycle and cut my knee. I cut my knee when I was riding my bike.
Example 2: I have a scar on my arm. When I was younger, I worked in a pizza restaurant. One time, I was
pulling a pizza out of the oven and my coworker bumped into me. My arm touched the inside of the
oven. I burned my arm. I burned my arm while I was cooking pizza.

What is a principle?
A principle is a fundamental, very important truth that is the basis of something. So the principles of
journalism are the things that journalists have to remember to do all the time
Gathering Sources
In this lesson, we will discuss principles that are important for journalists to remember when they are
gathering sources, or collecting information for their story.
Imagine a journalist is reporting on a car accident. The journalist needs to talk to the people who
actually saw the accident happen. We call these people eyewitnesses When the journalist is talking to
these people, they are gathering sources.
When a journalist wants to know more information for a story, they may talk to eyewitnesses,
government officials, or professional experts. They may also go to a library or research online. This is
also gathering sources.
Let's talk about some of the important principles that a journalist needs to remember when they are
gathering sources: verification and objectivity.
15
How can journalists verify a source to know that the information they get is accurate and true?
To start, a journalist can ask themselves these questions:
If we consider the car accident, we looked at earlier, an eyewitness is a primary source, while someone
who just heard about the accident is not.
For a car accident, an expert on road safety or an automotive engineer would be a good source of
information.
Principle 2. Objectivity: Report the facts without favoring one side or the other.
A journalist must be objective. They must report the facts without favoring one side or the
other or letting their personal opinions or emotions interfere.
An objective journalist tells the truth and reports only accurate information. They don't change
any facts or details to improve the story. They remain neutral. They report stories without
showing favor to any of the parties involved.
Finally, an objective journalist is emotionally detached. They report the story without any
emotion and present the story in a calm and rational way.
By reporting objectively, journalists hope the audience will come to their own conclusion. They
don't want to influence the audience.
When gathering sources, an objective journalist will get information from as many sources as
possible, including sources they may personally dislike or disagree with.
Summary:
▪ A journalist should determine which information is based in fact and present accurate
information from all sides.
▪ A journalist should not give equal time or weight to an opinion based on facts that are
clearly not true.
16
Principles of Journalism 2: Telling the Story
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
Now, we will look at the principles that a journalist needs to remember when they are telling the story
or writing their article.
For example, the journalist makes it clear who they spoke to and also, who they could not speak to.
Also, if the journalist has some connection to the story, they need to be transparent and tell people
what that connection is. For example, if the journalist's spouse is an architect who is going to help build
the hospital, he or she must state that in the article.
In the hospital example, they should use language that tells the facts about the advantages and
disadvantages of building the hospital.
17
It's important to remember that the journalist's goal should be to inform the public. The journalist
should tell the public what they need to know. The journalist should not manipulate the public or try to
shape the way the public thinks about something.
Summary
We looked at the following principles for telling your story:

Language Focus: Word Families
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
Hello! Welcome to this Language Focus lesson on word families. While you’ve been learning
about the principles of journalism, you may have noticed how some words have various forms,
for example: journalism, journalist, and journalistic.
The word endings, also called suffixes, change the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.)
The root of the word, the letters all forms have in common, stays the same.
Journalism is a noun. It means the act of writing for the news.
Journalist is also a noun. It means the person who produces news.
Journalistic is an adjective. It describes the process of making the news
Words with the same root but with different word endings are all part of the same word family.
In this lesson, we’ll look at word families, words with the same root and different endings to
form various parts of speech We'll also look at how the pronunciation may change in a word
family.
19
proving something is true. Verified is an adjective that describes something truthful. And
finally, to verify is the verb form of the root ver. It's the action verb of finding out if something
is true.
Now, let's look at the words we can make from the root ver, meaning truth. Look at the
sentences below. How many forms of the root ver do you see?
In English, we stress one (or more) syllables, meaning we pronounce it a little louder than the
others. This helps people understand each other.
20
In the word verify, we stress the first syllable: verify, VE-ri-fy
But when we change verify into a noun, verification, there are now 5 syllables:
verification, ver-i-fi-CA-tion
When a word ends in –tion, the stress falls on the syllable before that ending.
1. nation, NA-tion
2. invitation, in-vi-TA-tion
3. communication, com-mu-ni-CA-tion
4. verification, ve-ri-fi-CA-tion
This is also true for words that end in –ity.
Original has four syllables (o-ri-gi-nal) and has second syllable stress (oRIginal).
When we change this adjective to a noun, using –ity, we have originality.
Originality has six syllables (o-ri-gi-na-li-ty) and the fourth syllable is stressed (o-ri-gi-NAL-i-ty).
The fourth syllable (-al) is right before the word ending, -ity.
Let’s look at one final example. Let’s take the word objective. How many syllables does this
word have? (Three! The word objective has three syllables: ob-jec-tive)
Now, let’s change objective from an adjective to a noun. We will add the suffix, -ity. Objectivity.
Objectivity. Which syllable has the stress? (ob-jec-TIV-i-ty. The third syllable is stressed)
Summary
• Word endings can change a word from one part of speech to another.
• Word endings can change the syllable stress of a word.
21
Principles of Journalism 3: Making an Impact
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
We have already looked at principles related to gathering sources and telling the story. Now,
we're going to look at the principles that are about impacting people, meaning, how people are
affected by the articles that a journalist writes.
We're going to talk now about the last four principles of journalism, restraint, humanity,
accountability, and empowerment.
Principle 7: Restraint
People show restraint when they stop themselves from doing something. Journalists show
restraint when they stop themselves from writing things that could be bad for people.
For example, sometimes people think the wrong person has committed a crime. In the rush to
break a story, this person's name and picture could be released on the Internet. This could have
very bad consequences for somebody who has not done anything wrong.
Showing restraint avoids hurting innocent people and creates a better story. When facts are
verified properly, they have a better chance of being accurate and true.
Journalists also show restraint when they allow their sources to be anonymous. This means
that the journalist does not share the source’s name. Journalists need to do this because
sometimes bad things could happen to the person if their name was known. They might lose
their job or possibly even get hurt.
Principle 8: Humanity
Another principle that a journalist must think about is being humane. This means caring about
other people and treating them with respect, treating them as humans, not just part of a story.
In an earlier lesson, we said that journalists should be objective, not favoring one side or
another. However, a journalist can be both objective in their writing and sympathetic to the
people in a story.
For example, journalists should think about the feelings of a crime victim's friends and family
even when they're rushing to write a story.
Principle 9: Accountability.
The next principle is accountability. A person is accountable when they take responsibility for
their actions. They are responsible for the things they do.
22
For a journalist, there are two types of accountability. The first is personal. A journalist must be
responsible for the story that they write. They must balance what the public needs to know and
the rights of the people involved. If there are mistakes in the story, a journalist must admit that
they made a mistake. They must correct their mistakes.
The second type of accountability involves holding the people in power responsible for their
actions. People in power may try to hide their actions from the public. The job of a journalist is
to shine a light on these actions and let everybody know what the person in power has done.
For example, in a situation where drinking water has been polluted, the people responsible for
making sure the water is clean should explain what happened. They must explain what they're
doing to stop it happening again.
23
Language Focus: Phrases for Agreeing and Disagreeing
Untitled Image by 200 degrees via Pixabay is licensed under Pixabay license
Hello, in this lesson, we'll talk about phrases you can use to express your opinion, and to agree
or disagree with someone else's opinion. This is important as we prepare for our discussion
board.
When discussing opinions, there are words and phrases that can sound more appropriate and
polite. In most academic, professional, and even social situations, the goal is to have a
discussion, not an argument.
It's important to choose your words carefully, so that everyone feels welcome to share their
opinion and participate in the conversation. Let's start with expressing your opinion.
24
These phrases are used to agree with someone's opinion, and are usually followed by a
paraphrase, the same opinion using different words. For example:
▪ "I agree with you 100%. Newspapers cannot help people make decisions if they only
print the government's views. "
▪ "I couldn't agree with you more. When governments control the news, people start to
distrust the government. "
These phrases signal disagreement but notice they're still appropriate and polite. In an
academic setting like college or university, you generally don't hear people say things like,
"you're wrong" or "that's just not true." In most public areas, (schools, the government, the
press), people will disagree, but they will disagree in respectful ways. Disagreeing doesn't
always result in an argument. For example:
▪ "I'm afraid I must disagree. The government's job is to keep its people safe."
▪ "Don't you think that if the press is allowed to write extreme views people could get
upset and become violent?"
▪ "I’m sorry to disagree with you, but the press shouldn't write articles that could create
problems for the government."
What are some phrases you can use in more formal situations to softly and politely disagree?
▪ I see your opinion, but...
▪ I'm not so sure about that.
▪ I understand what you are saying, but...
Here you acknowledge what they're saying, but also separate your thoughts from their
argument.
For example:
"I understand what you are saying, but the government must work with the press. The press
needs to report on events with the government."
You'll be asked to express your opinion and respond to other students’ opinions.
These phrases will help you communicate clearly, appropriately, and politely.
