新聞學是一種包含搜集、撰寫及報導新聞的學科。	Journalism is the subject of gathering, writing, and reporting news.
在廣義上，它亦包含了編輯和演示新聞專題的過程。	In the broad sense, it also includes the process of editing and presenting articles.
新聞學在報業、電視、電台以及网络新媒体等各種傳播媒介上均起著重要的作用。	Journalism plays an important role in the various types of broadcast media like newspapers, TV, radio, and internet new media.
多數的傳媒機構皆希望「先發制人」，爭先發佈資訊，而處於這種壓力下，傳媒機構通常會先對新聞進行編輯和校對，以使其內容符合該機構在準確性、素質和式樣等方面的標準。	The majority of media organizations want to be the first to report on an issue, and under this kind of pressure they will normally edit and proofread a piece of news to ensure its contents meet the organization's standards of accuracy, quality, and style.
有很多傳媒機構均聲稱他們是政府機關和官員的監察者，由此監督政府對人民負責，並為這傳統感到自豪。	Many media organizations claim to be the supervisors of government agencies responsible to the people by monitoring the government, and they are proud of this tradition.
但同時，批評者則對傳媒本身能否向大眾負責而提出質疑。	However, at the same time, critics doubt whether or not the media itself can bear this responsibility for the public.
二十年代初，傳統新聞工作者都是受僱的畢業於相關學士學位的專業人士。	At the beginning of the 1920's, traditional news workers were hired professionals with bachelor degrees in related fields.
可是到了九十年代，隨著新聞製作數碼化及互聯網的普及程度日益上升，傳統、專業的新聞文化正在受到挑戰。	But by the 1990's, professional media culture was challenged by the digitization of news production and the popularization of the Internet.
民間記者的概念應運而生，網絡上的記者可以透過不同渠道來把自己製作的新聞發放，而不只限於透過專業的媒體渠道。	Popular journalists then had an opportunity to take advantage of various channels on the Internet to distribute the news they created without being limited only to professional media outlets.
