Adding the section, "Copyright and Fair Use"[edit]

I have added this section to the Wikipedia Journalism entry because copyright and fair use are important guidelines to follow when pursuing journalism. People who want to pursue a career in journalism should be made aware of copyright laws and what fair use means. It is important to note about fair use that many journalists are protected under fair use but they still need to understand what copyright laws mean, how they work, and what they, as a journalist, can do to follow those laws. Though many journalists are protected under fair use and the First Amendment, there are things that are not covered by fair use and it is often up to the court system about whether or not a journalists work can/will be considered fair use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eahazellief (talk • contribs) 17:37 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Journalism is not just about news[edit]

the text is saying that journalists only create content about news.this is not true. Arman gh82 (talk) 16:53, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are unsourced and grammatically incorrect. They are not an improvement to the article. MrOllie (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Is there any way we can include the impact of spreading fake news on a global scale? For example, the mounds of fake news that marked the Covid 19 period?
