This question is highly open to opinion, and if it was asked in class, I assume your teacher would like to hear your opinion. In order to answer it honestly, it is important to understand exactly what journalism is. Journalism is the art of conveying news, opinions, and stories through a wide variety of media. This can include of course, newspapers, magazines, and television. More recently, journalism has come to also include Internet media such as blogs, Internet articles or ezines, and other web media. In my opinion, journalism is important to the world because it is current and relevent. This is also what makes it entertaining. People tune in to the news (whether on TV, the radio, newspaper, or Internet) because they want to see what is going on in the world.
