freedom of press under threat 
Journalism is the activity or product of journalists or others engaged in the preparation of written, visual, or audio material intended for dissemination through public media with reference to factual, ongoing events of public concern. It is intended to inform society about itself and to make public, things that would otherwise be private.[1]
Journalism is directed at the consumers of media products, who may comprise nonspecific general audiences, or narrower market segments.
In modern society, news media have become the chief purveyor of information and opinion about public affairs; but the role and status of journalism, along with other forms of mass media, are undergoing changes resulting from the Internet.[2] This has resulted in a shift toward reading on e-readers, smartphones, and other electronic devices rather than print media and has faced news organizations with the ongoing problem of monetizing on digital news.
Attached below , is a story i found online regarding journalist who have either been arrested or banned from working in the cause of their job by government or military officials
as a journalist i believe in the freedom of peech and the freedom of the media and for journalist work to be interfeered with is something i do not really appreciater
journalist are the eye andears of the community, granted they do have an influence on how some people think and vision depending on what message the journalist wants to send, but tio have their work stoped just because a few individuals do not like what is saod or showed is quite siomething else on its own.
