The term "muckraker" describes a journalist who digs deeply into political, economic, or other kinds of corruption to expose it.

It comes from the use of "muck" as a euphemism for manure in a stable and the special rakes that are used to clear it.

"A yellow journalism" refers to sensationalized, exaggerated, or distorted news reporting that focuses on shocking stories, gossip, or scandal to attract readers and generate attention. It is often criticized for being misleading or biased in order to sell more newspapers or online content.

Currently, tabloid journalism has not completely replaced conventional journalism. However, the field of journalism is changing with the advent of new technologies. Blogging has become a way for some people to receive information about their community or other communities throughout the world, rather than watching the news or reading a newspaper (online or in print). Many newspapers offer online subscriptions, but there are articles online available for free. Google News offers internet users the ability to search hundreds of blogs and online newspapers for news items. Entertainment is becoming a bigger focus in journalism. The Today Show on NBC will include hard-hitting news stories from around the world; however, the hosts may also try various recipes or exercise with various experts. To gain an edge in reporting, one can try to report news in ways that are fun and interesting to the general public. Tabloid news is not news. The paparazzi provides information on public figures (a way to avoid slander-- balancing right to know with too much personal info is precarious. Often the paparazzi includes too much detail which infringes on the person's right to privacy). Hopefully, the public realizes the need for actual reporting, not details on a celebrity's supposed pregnancy. Journalism is a balancing act between reporting all important stories and being very depressing and light-hearted fluff pieces and not producing any new or relevant information.

Bleed is the amount of space you add around your page size so that when it's trimmed nothing is cut off. For example if your page was A4 you would have margins set within this for the information to be printed and your "bleed" would be the extra area around the A4 page, usually 3-5mm depending on individual Printer. Bleed is especially important if you have an image that needs to run off the page. If you do not over hang this image into the bleed area, when it is trimmed it could leave a thin white line around the edges.

hope this makes sense!

A good example would be the Atlanta Race Riot of 1906. Here's how it went down.

The Civil War ended. Blacks and whites, who suprisingly lived peacefully together, now had to compete for jobs, creating tension.

In the gubernatorial election, two men Hoke Smith and Clark Howell, decided that the person who would win was the person who swung the black vote, so they both ran on a campaign for disenfranchisement of black persons.

Both men had connections with newspapers they previously worked for and began circulating stories that would incite white voters that would make them fear that blacks were causing social disorder and would take order away from whites.

Two other newspapers (Atlanta Georgian and the Atlanta News) were competing for circulation so they jumped in on the action.

On September 22, 1906 these newspapers reported four assaults on white women. This didn't go over well for the innocent black community.

Over 10,000 white mob members gathered and began stabbing, beating, kicking, etc. innocent black persons because of this. 25-40 black people died compared to two white deaths. This eventually lead to significant social changes in the law.

The most important building using Gothic style is often considered to be the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Its intricate flying buttresses, stained-glass windows, and soaring spires epitomize Gothic architecture and have influenced countless other buildings around the world.

Some of the major newspapers published before India's independence include The Times of India, The Hindu, and The Statesman. These newspapers focused on providing news related to political developments, social issues, and the freedom struggle. They played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support for the independence movement.

Journalism that embraces the most tawdry, perverse, and unfortunate stories--

typically something quite embarassing, sensational, or dirty--in an attempt to tantalize the media outlet's audience. The stories are often partially fabricated and take on a life of their own. Muckracking usually implies some sort of machination or manipulation on the part of the journalist or media concern.

The theme for the 2010-2011 campus journalism in the Philippines was "Campus Journalism: A Driving Force for Truth, Accountability, and Social Transformation." It emphasized the role of campus journalists in promoting transparency, responsibility, and positive change in society through their reporting and writing.

One result of yellow journalism in Atlanta was increased public excitement and support for war, as newspapers sensationalized stories to provoke strong emotional responses. This type of reporting helped shape public opinion and push the country toward conflict.

A takeout piece in journalism is a feature story that provides in-depth analysis or background information on a particular topic. It is usually longer than a typical news article and aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the issue at hand. Takeout pieces often include interviews, data analysis, and expert opinions to present a well-rounded view of the subject.

Muckraker articles were investigative journalism pieces that exposed corruption, injustices, and societal issues in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These articles aimed to bring about social and political reform by shedding light on issues such as political corruption, labor abuses, and unsanitary living conditions. Muckrakers played a key role in raising public awareness and shaping public opinion during this period.

A journalist should prioritize accuracy, fairness, and impartiality in their reporting. They should also be ethical, respectful, and transparent in their interactions and work to hold power to account while providing a voice to the marginalized.

Bumped headlines or Heads... when two headlines over two stories are placed side by side on a newspaper page.

It creates a competition between the two stories. Called Bumping.

Usually the story on the left gets read... and once the reader is done?

The reader invariably turns the page. leaving the poor story on the right unread and very lonely. It gets "bumped" because of the bumping heads.

Aesthetically it is anathema to old editors and journalism professors.

Pedants like me in other words.

Is it a sin?

Of course not.

Should it be avoided?

Of course.
