Politically, journalism is very important. We can see this in the impact that Al Jazeera had in the Tunisian rebellion that happened recently. ( And in the impact of news media in general in the current unrest in Egypt.) When there is no journalism, things like the Tunisian guy burning himself in protest aren't widely known in a country or in the world. If that happens, they don't cause any sort of reaction. But when journalism exists, such incidents can come to the attention of broader publics and can cause things like what happened in Tunisia. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team

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.
