Document Summary
The fact of negotiated readings makes us active audiences. Some say it"s a subjective piece of writing. Broad about all stories that are of public interest. We should focus on the function that journalism plays in people"s lives. No ways to connect with one another. News isn"t just conveying information, its about telling stories. *it is to provide citizens with information that need to be free and self governing: journalism"s democratic function: the ideal vs. everyday life. It can be private owned or government owned but its focus is on the publc. We trust that the information is accurate. Establishment of a metaphorical gate that filters the news that we receive. In everyday life, these values are often challenged. Can news outlets that depend on advertising and broad circulation for profit sustain the objective of democratic participation? . Can these news outlets adequately represent diversity in society so that all citizens have a voice? .
