Oral, Written or Visual Journalism (refers to Broadcast
Journalism)
e.g. of Oral Journalism (24 Oras, Radio Broadcasting, TV Patrol)
usually refers to spoken journalism.
e.g. of Written Journalism (Tabloids, newspapers such as Manila
Bulletin or Philippine Inquirer) refers to journal or reports that are
typically written in a paper or such.
e.g. of Visual Journalism (Ads, Commercials, Caricature, Editorial
Cartoons, posters) conveys message through visuals such as
drawings, movements, letters, signs or symbols.
Broadcast journalism is the field of news and journals which are
"broadcast", that is, published by electrical methods, instead of the
older methods, such as printed newspapers and posters. Broadcast
methods include radio (via air, cable, and Internet), television (via air,
cable, and Internet), and, especially recently, the Internet generally.
Such media disperse pictures (static and moving), visual text and/or
sounds.
Scripts for speaking to be broadcast tend to be written differently from
text to be read by the public. For instance, the former is generally less
complex and more conversational. Radio and television are designed
to be seen and heard sooner and more often than is a daily or weekly
newspaper.
Broadcast "stories" (articles) can be written in "packages", "readers",
"voice-overs" (VO) and "sound on tape" (SOT).
A "sack" is an edited set of video clips for a news story and is common
on television. It is typically narrated by a reporter. It is a story with
audio, video, graphics and video effects. The news anchor, or
presenter, usually reads a "lead-in" (introduction) before the package is
aired and may conclude the story with additional information, called a
"tag".
A "reader" is an article read without accompanying video or sound.
Sometimes an "over the shoulder Digital on-screen graphic" is added.
A voice-over, or VO, is a video article narrated by the anchor.
Sound on tape, or SOT, is sound and/or video, usually recorded in the
field. It is usually an interview or "soundbite".
-also includes TV, Radio and Online Convergence
NEWSPAPER VS. MAGAZINE
Newspapers and magazines are two important forms of print media that
are read by millions of people around the world, to get information and
entertainment. People are so used to newspapers and magazines that
they hardly pay any attention to differences between them. This article tries
to differentiate between these two types of print media on the basis of their
features.
Newspaper
Though the spread of the internet and electronic media like TV and cable
has put some breaks on the circulation and numbers of newspapers, they
still remain the primary source of authentic, reliable and fresh content
about what is happening around the world and locally. The advent of the
printing press gave wings to the spread of newspapers and in every part of
the world there are national newspapers as well as newspapers in local
dialects. Most of the newspapers are daily in nature, but some happen to
be weekly and even biweekly. Newspapers traditionally use inferior quality
of paper and poor quality ink as the emphasis is on keeping the prices
down. As newspapers are distributed early in the morning, people wait for
them to get all the information about their city, nation, and international
news along with their morning cup of tea or coffee.
Magazine
Magazines are another form of print media, and they are produced on
paper with ink. They are not published daily and are rather published
weekly or monthly. These magazines are not sources of fresh content to
the extent of publishing breaking news but contain content that is recent in
nature. Magazines belong to various fields such as entertainment, science,
share markets, sports, movies, and so on. They are expensive as they are
published on costly paper that may be glossy and also contain color
photos of high resolution.


Magazine is smaller in size to newspaper.
Magazine is more expensive than newspaper.
Newspaper contains fresher content than magazine.
Newspaper has more variety of content than magazine that pertains to its
chosen field only such as cars, movies, sports, and so on.
People subscribe for magazines though they are also available on news
stands.
Newspapers are delivered by hawkers though many purchase them at
crossings and newsstands.
Readership of a newspaper is invariably higher than that of a magazine
though there are exceptions.
Newspapers never fall short of content as there is always something
happening in different parts of the world, whereas magazine content is
always based upon the liking of the readers.
A magazine is like a book while a newspaper is much larger in size
though there is lesser number of pages than in a magazine.
As far as appearance is concerned, magazines look far more attractive
than newspapers.
Newspapers are more versatile in content than magazines, and they
have various sections to suit the interests of people of diverse
backgrounds.
