Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that are the "news of the day" and that informs society to at least some degree of accuracy. The word, a noun , applies to the occupation (professional or not), the methods of gathering information, and the organizing literary styles.
The appropriate role for journalism varies from country to country, as do perceptions of the profession, and the resulting status. In some nations, the news media are controlled by government and are not independent. In others, news media are independent of the government and operate as private industry . In addition, countries may have differing implementations of laws handling the freedom of speech , freedom of the press as well as slander and libel cases .
The proliferation of the Internet and smartphones has brought significant changes to the media landscape since the turn of the 21st century. This has created a shift in the consumption of print media channels, as people increasingly consume news through e-readers , smartphones , and other personal electronic devices, as opposed to the more traditional formats of newspapers, magazines, or television news channels . News organizations are challenged to fully monetize their digital wing, as well as improvise on the context in which they publish in print. Newspapers have seen print revenues sink at a faster pace than the rate of growth for digital revenues. (Full article... )

Mihail Kogălniceanu OSR (Romanian pronunciation: [mihaˈil koɡəlniˈtʃe̯anu] ⓘ ; also known as Mihail Cogâlniceanu , Michel de Kogalnitchan ; September 6, 1817 – July 1, 1891) was a Romanian liberal statesman, lawyer, historian and publicist; he became Prime Minister of Romania on October 11, 1863, after the 1859 union of the Danubian Principalities under Domnitor Alexandru Ioan Cuza , and later served as Foreign Minister under Carol I . He was several times Interior Minister under Cuza and Carol. A polymath , Kogălniceanu was one of the most influential Romanian intellectuals of his generation. Siding with the moderate liberal current for most of his lifetime, he began his political career as a collaborator of Prince Mihail Sturdza , while serving as head of the Iași Theater and issuing several publications together with the poet Vasile Alecsandri and the activist Ion Ghica . After editing the highly influential magazine Dacia Literară and serving as a professor at Academia Mihăileană , Kogălniceanu came into conflict with the authorities over his Romantic nationalist inaugural speech of 1843. He was the ideologue of the abortive 1848 Moldavian revolution , authoring its main document, Dorințele partidei naționale din Moldova .
Following the Crimean War (1853–1856), with Prince Grigore Alexandru Ghica , Kogălniceanu was responsible for drafting legislation to abolish Roma slavery . Together with Alecsandri, he edited the unionist magazine Steaua Dunării , played a prominent part during the elections for the ad hoc Divan , and successfully promoted Cuza, his lifelong friend, to the throne. Kogălniceanu advanced legislation to revoke traditional ranks and titles , and to secularize the property of monasteries . His efforts at land reform resulted in a censure vote , leading Cuza to enforce them through a coup d'état in May 1864. However, Kogălniceanu resigned in 1865, following his own conflicts with the monarch. (Full article... )
