JOURNALISM

How Journalism is viewed today?


Journalism in the modern day is very different from that of the past. In the past, your neighborhood newspaper, which was published every morning, provided the majority of your news and information but in today’s world journalism become digitalized and biased. We all know that the purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments. However, it often encounters bias in disseminating information.

 

Journalism employs particular techniques to obtain and evaluate information with the goal of prioritizing the welfare of the public. In other words, journalism exists to serve the public interest, and journalists should regularly verify the facts they’re reporting on to ensure they’re true. Moreover, people can get information wherever they are and whenever they want via Google search, and with that they’ll find a lot of information. Nevertheless, the issues in journalism and to a journalists today have changed. They are no longer the undisputed authorities in the subjects they write about. Today’s readers might be more intelligent and knowledgeable than they are. Now they will go somewhere else if you don’t listen to them, work with them, work for them, and offer them what they need and desire. Additionally, they have a lot of different options. However, as a result of this, fake news is now an all too typical occurrence. As I red the report published by a certain Yvonne Chua of the University of the Philippines showed that Rappler was among the least trusted brands in Philippine news media. The report, published by the University of Oxford and the Reuters Institute showed Rappler alongside tabloid publications Abante and Bulgar at the bottom of a list of “most trusted” brands. People see this as bias because they think that journalism is no longer tell the facts, in the reason that journalists interpret information based on their values. They no longer serve the public. They serve special interest groups, and whoever is trying to direct the narrative.


Therefore, journalists should keep their opinions out of the news, and news outlets as a whole should not be making statements regarding on their view on the issues. Besides, they must always strive to report truthfully and as balanced as possible because their job is to report all sides, and interpret and explain issues to your readers so they can decide for themselves based on your reporting. Some argue that unbiased reporting is impossible, but I think it’s worth the effort to be as unbiased as humanly possible.

World English Vs. Standard English


In the world full of options, English will be forever a choice. 

    English has now acquired the title of the world’s leading “global language” (Crystal 2003, 1) because it is used for business, science, and politics. 

    When we use the term English, readers may assume that we are referring to a standard of usage that everyone agrees upon. Readers may think that we must mean British Standard English or American Standard English because the English that exists in such places as Africa, Asia, the West Indies, the Philippines and Singapore is not real or standard English.

     Readers may also think that teachers of English as a second language (ESL) must be teaching British or American Standard English because that is what their learners want to learn. In fact, the issue is not as straightforward as we may think; there is neither an agreed-upon definition of Standard English, nor is there agreement on what students of ESL need or want to learn. 

World English

    World English has been defined as a phase in the history of the English language. This phase has witnessed the transformation of English from the mother tongue of a handful of nations to a language being used by far more speakers in non-mother tongue settings. The changes that have accompanied this spread the multiplicity of varieties result not from the faulty and imperfect learning of the non-mother tongue speakers, but from the nature of the process of micro-acquisition, language spread and change," says Janina Brutt-Griffler in her book "World English."

The Convenience of World English

    In the introduction to the book, "English in the World: Global Rules, Global Roles," Rani Rubdy and Mario Saraceni point out: "The global spread of English, its causes and consequences, have long been a focus of critical discussion. One of the main concerns has been that of standardization. This is also because, unlike other international languages such as Spanish and French, English lacks any official body setting and prescribing the norms of the language. 
    This apparent linguistic anarchy has generated a tension between those who seek stability of the code through some form of convergence and the forces of linguistic diversity that are inevitably set in motion when new demands are made on a language that has assumed a global role of such immense proportions.
    "One consequence of the global predominance that English has gained over the last few decades is that today non-native speakers of English far outnumber its native speakers (Graddol 1997, Crystal 2003)."

    In the "Oxford Guide to World English," Tom McArthur says, " Although world English is varied, certain varieties and registers are fairly tightly controlled, often through standardized patterns of use.



  Standard English

  The term Standard English refers to both an actual variety of language and an idealized norm of English acceptable in many social situations. As a language variety, Standard English is the language used in most public discourse and in the regular operation of American social institutions. The news media, the government, the legal profession, and the teachers in our schools and universities all view Standard English as their proper mode of communication, primarily in expository and argumentative writing, but also in public speaking.

  • "Standard English is thus different from what is normally thought of as speech in that Standard English must be taught, whereas children learn to speak naturally without being taught." (The American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style. Houghton Mifflin, 2005)
  • "We need to know Standard English, but we need to know it critically, analytically, and in the context of language history. We also need to understand the regularity of non-standard variants. If we approach good and bad grammar in this way, the study of language will be a liberating factor not merely freeing learners from socially stigmatized usage by replacing that usage with new linguistic manners, but educating people in what language and linguistic manners are all about." (Edwin L. Battistella, Bad Language: Are Some Words Better Than Others? Oxford University Press, 2005)

The Convenience of Standard English

    Standard English is that particular variety of English which is regarded by educated people as appropriate for most types of public discourse, including most broadcasting, almost all publication, and virtually all conversation with anyone other than intimates.

    It is not entirely uniform around the globe: for example, American users of standard English say the first floor and I've just gotten a letter and write center and color, while British users say ground floor and I've just got a letter and write centre and colour. But these regional differences are few in comparison with the very high degree of agreement about which forms should count as standard. 
    Nevertheless, standard English, like all living languages, changes over time. It is important to realize that standard English is in no way intrinsically superior to any other variety of English: in particular, it is not 'more logical,' 'more grammatical,' or 'more expressive.' It is, at the bottom, a convenience: the use of a single agreed standard form, learned by speakers everywhere, minimizes uncertainty, confusion, misunderstanding, and communicative difficulty generally." (R.L. Trask, Dictionary of English Grammar. Penguin, 2000)


          

  Hence,  World English and Standard English are vital. Standard English plays a crucial role in our educational system as the kind of English that all children are expected to be able to use, in speaking as well as in writing. It often uses a variety of language that is used by governments, in the media, in schools and for international communication and has distinctive features of grammar, vocabulary and orthography (spelling & punctuation) but not of pronunciation. This is because it can be spoken with any accent. It is the most prestigious variety of English, associated with people of high social status. Nevertheless, the term World English refers to the differences in the English language that emerge as it is used in various contexts across the world. A certain group of speakers take a familiar variety of English and adapt the features of that variety to suit the needs of their social context. In light of the given definitions, I conclude that World English is more appropriate to use because it is not complex as Standard English. Research also shows that learning a new language changes your brain structure. It impacts the parts of your brain that are responsible for memory, conscious thought and more. Put simply, learning a new language can make your brain stronger and more versatile, improving the way you think. As I write this article, I suggest that English language teachers should consider all varieties of English, not just British Standard English or American Standard English. In order to better prepare students for the global world, and to show them that their own English is valued, teachers can implement a balanced approach that incorporates the teaching and learning context as well as the learners’ values. It also helps to prepare learners for future interactions with speakers of different varieties of English. The guidelines to following a balanced approach presented in this article are not meant to be prescriptive, nor do they claim to be comprehensive; we recognize that not all teachers have a choice about which variety of English to emphasize in their instruction. However, these guidelines can be adapted by all teachers who wish to help their students prepare for real world interactions.
