Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at least some degree.

The word applies to the occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the organizing literary styles.

Journalistic media include: print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels.

News is information about current events.

Journalists provide news through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, and also on their own testimony, as witnesses of relevant events.

In journalism, a source is a person, publication, or other record or document that gives timely information.

Outside journalism, sources are sometimes known as "news sources".

Examples of sources include official records, publications or broadcasts, officials in government or business, organizations or corporations, witnesses of crime, accidents or other events, and people involved with or affected by a news event or issue.
