The role of the journalist Development journalism generally attracts progressive, committed people, who want to effect positive change.
With the exception of the Guardian, quality journalism on development issues in mainstream media is rare.
One manifestation of these changes has been mass-media niche journalism, a development, made possible by cable, whose opportunities Ailes was one of the first to appreciate.
But at the same time as foreign reporting is being cut, the inter-related disciplines of journalism and development are attracting increasing attention from academia.
@ricorredor Ricardo has a long experience of working on issues related to media and journalism for development in Latin America, having worked with civil society organisations from Brazil, Colombia, and the United States.
To Voordouw, development journalism means "Community journalism to achieve larger objectives - social justice, improving health, education, bringing people together".
Good development journalism goes a long way to achieving this".
Looked at like that, development journalism is definitely under threat.
Development journalism, done well, is a real skill.
So where in the overlap between these two styles of reporting comes development journalism?
