Portal:Journalism
IntroductionJournalism is the production and distribution of reports on events. The word journalism applies to the occupation, as well as citizen journalists who gather and publish information. Journalistic media include print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels. Concepts of the appropriate role for journalism vary between countries. In some nations, the news media are controlled by government intervention and are not fully independent. In others, the news media are independent of the government but instead operate as private industry motivated by profit. In addition to the varying nature of how media organizations are run and funded, countries may have differing implementations of laws handling the freedom of speech and libel cases. Selected article

In the newsSelected biographyMichael Savage is the pseudonym of Michael Alan Weiner (born March 31, 1942), a controversial American conservative talk radio host, author, and political pundit. He holds master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in nutritional ethnomedicine. As Michael Weiner, he has written a number of books on herbal medicine and homeopathy. As Michael Savage, he has written four New York Times best sellers. His nationally syndicated radio show, The Savage Nation, reaches more than ten million listeners on 410 stations throughout the United States, ranking third in number of stations syndicated nationwide and third in nationwide audience behind Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Though he spent much time with a more liberal crowd in the 1970s, he turned to what he calls "independent conservatism" during the 1980s. Savage is now known for his confrontational style and colorful language. He has said that there are three aspects that define a society: borders, language, and culture. Consequently, he is a critic of illegal immigration, a supporter of the English-only movement, and warns about what he says is the degradation of U.S. culture in the form of liberalism and same-sex marriage.
