The word, anoun, applies to theoccupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the organizing literary styles. The appropriate role for journalism varies from country to country, as do perceptions of the profession, and the resulting status. In some nations, the news media are controlled by government and are not independent. In others, news media are independent of the government and operate asprivate industry. In addition, countries may have differing implementations of laws handling thefreedom of speech,freedom of the press as well asslander andlibel cases. Additionally, many academics have researched the role of journalism in the proliferation of globalisation, contributing to a more interconnected 'world as one.' In recent years, the rise of the internet and online media has significantly shifted how people consume information, with an increasing preference for digital sources. In some regions, this shift has even led to the complete disappearance of traditional print newspapers.The proliferation of the Internet andsmartphones has brought significant changes to the media landscape since the turn of the 21st century. This has created a shift in the consumption ofprint media channels, as people increasingly consume news throughe-readers,smartphones, and other personal electronic devices, as opposed to the more traditional formats of newspapers, magazines, ortelevision news channels.

WikiProjectsSelected biography –show another Robert Sterling Yard (February 1, 1861 – May 17, 1945) was an American writer, journalist, andwilderness activist. Born inHaverstraw, New York, Yard graduated fromPrinceton University and spent the first twenty years of his career in the editing and publishing business. In 1915, he was recruited by his friendStephen Mather to help publicize the need for an independent national park agency. Their numerous publications were part of a movement that resulted in legislative support for aNational Park Service (NPS) in 1916. Yard served as head of the National Parks Educational Committee for several years after its conception, but tension within the NPS led him to concentrate on non-government initiatives. He became executive secretary of theNational Parks Association in 1919. Yard worked to promote the national parks as well as educate Americans about their use. Creating high standards based on aesthetic ideals for park selection, he also opposed commercialism and industrialization of what he called "America's masterpieces". These standards subsequently caused discord with his peers. After helping to establish a relationship between the NPA and theUnited States Forest Service, Yard later became involved in the protection of wilderness areas. In 1935, he became one of the eight founding members ofThe Wilderness Society and acted as its first president from 1937 until his death eight years later. Yard is now considered an important figure in the modern wilderness movement. (Full article...)
