CHALLENGES IN JOURNALISM

2- POLITICIZATION

Perhaps the most obvious recent change in journalism is the politicization of reporting on _virtually_ every topic. Political polarization is simply one part of the evolution of journalism into a postmodern industry of relativity and subjective truth. Politics will be inescapable for journalists in the years to come whether they are reporting on Governorship candidate campaign or the presidential election.

From years back, the Striker/Kicker of every front page of Newspaper/Magazine has been dominated by political news. The only exception to this rule is in the aftermath of a major disaster or mass shooting, but these events tend to be politicized, as well. 

For the last half-century, political news has been increasingly polarized and combative, culminating in the open warfare taking place between liberal and conservative media today. The reasons for these developments run deep, and they can’t be fully explained by material, economic or cultural changes in recent decades. However, they are clearly reflected in these changes.

SOLUTION:

The inception of Politicization in media houses is that, some Media houses are own and govern by politicians to project their Projects and Missions. So, "He who pays the Piper dictate the tune".

In every Newspaper/Magazine Publication for News Reporting, "SENSATIONALISM" must be avoided.
