Broadcast journalism involves the electronic media such as radio and television. Print journalism contains the media such as magazine, newspaper or any media that involves paper printing. The more recent and advanced pattern of journalism is internet journalism. The public will be able to receive all the details about the current world happenings in a very fast way.

Different kinds of media provide a particular benefit to the people. Broadcast journalism provides photos along with the details about the current news and events. This type of media will provide updated information to the public many times in a single day. Through the print media such as newspaper and magazine, people will be able to hold the article in their hands, receive the information through reading and read it again in case they did not understand a particular topic. Internet journalism provides updated information for every second about the current news and happenings throughout the world. Hence, this type of journalism has great effect on public lives.

Many people think that reporters in various fields of journalism will be able to change from one type of media to another type of media very easily. However, this is not true. Even though, the internet medium is mostly related to the print media and the broadcast media, the majority of the journalists do not change within print media and broadcast media. Also, many people think that reporters earn a large amount of salary. However, this is not true in all cases. A reporter will be able to receive a large amount of salary only if he or she attains a large market. Reporters working in small markets will be able to earn a lesser amount of salary. The field of journalism is one of the most competitive fields.
