Print:
the print side of journalism is specifically the magazines and newspapers side of the industry. print can also be in the form of tabloids and documents. there are many sectors in the print side of the business, including designer, developer, programmer, web editor etc., with many job roles in TV and radio being in this part of the industry too ie. director, producer, editor. an example of a newspaper is the Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/). Print was one of the very first journalistic techniques used and can be traced back as far as 1975. however, with technology and tv based journalism becoming more prominent, the future of print based journalism could dwindle down.
Television:
television is said to be the most influential medium for journalism and is the primary source to get the news across to people. television is dominated by visuals to news stories and sound which is an effective way to get viewership for news. the television side of journalism is also known as broadcast journalism. an example of this is
Radio:
Radio:
radio was the first form of medium for broadcast journalism. radio advertising was later used to to pay for programmes which were pioneered and aired on radio shows. nowadays, television has taken over both radio and print based journalism as the main source of news broadcast. radio shows are mostly music based nowadays and less about giving out the news, unless they are high brow radio stations such as the BBC. in the past, radio was all about broadcasting the news and now music is added to attract more of a diverse audience and to separate news stories to keep the listeners interested.
Online:
online journalism is referred to as defining the facts via internet based sources ie. websites. even though most radio, tv and print based journalism modes now have a website to add to what they already have, there are still some online journalism websites that are ust made for online use and not tv or radio etc. as of 2009, audiences for online journalism continue to grow, the future of online journalism looks bleak due to financial worries. online journalists believe that advertising is likely to be the best revenue for supporting the production of online news. the official online journalism blog is put up as an example: http://onlinejournalismblog.com/.
Podcasts:
a podcast is a series of media files that are released episodically or downloaded through web syndication. the mode of delivery variates podcasts from other means of accessing media files over the internet; direct download link or streamed webcast. from this, files are directly stored onto a computer/laptop and/or another portable device such as an iPod and then then can be used freely. the formats in which these are downloaded in are either mp3's, jpeg's, og vorbis etc. an example of a website where podcasts can be uploaded onto is http://soundcloud.com/.
News:
news is the communication of selected information on current events which is presented through either print, broadcast, internet or word of mouth, which is what all these ournalistic contexts centre around. it involves gathering pieces of factual information together in order to create a great news story that is both current and breaking news. this is the main format used in journalism, closely followed by sports news stories which are completely different altogether as they focus on one subject and news as a whole focuses on global topics on a daily basis.
Sport:
sport is a type of journalistic context that isnt used as often as regular news and is usually placed at the end of news programmes because it isnt necessarily relevant to global and influential topics that affect everyone on a daily basis. it is an essential element of journalism but isnt that important.
Editorial:
editorial in terms of journalistic context is essentially an opinion piece that is written by the senior editorial staff and/or publisher for a newspaper or a magazine. editorials are usually unsigned and may be supposed to reflect the opinion of the periodical. an example of this is the same example for print (the Guardian), which is a great example of an editorial piece of journalism. editorials may also be in the form of editorial cartoons ie. political cartoons which are put in to add humour to the subject and opinion given.

the term voxpop derives from the latin phrase "voice of the people" and is basically a way of gathering an opinion on a subject matter and collecting views from the public. the voxpop technique is used typically in news areas and it is heard to find a news interview that doesnt contain voxpops in the journalism industry. this type of interview would be informal and conversational.
Red Carpet:this is an example of a red carpet interview: (). a red carpet interview is very light hearted and conversational between the interviewer and the interviewee. the questions are mostly quick and easy to answer but get straight to the point when gathering the answers needed.
Press Conference:press conferences can be formal events and informal events depending on what the subject matter is being discussed. events that involve the government and high brow news; political events, are always formal events and featured as hard hitting news. for the informal side to this kind of interview, events such as comic con panels, they are very conversational and add that light heartedness needed whilst also getting the information that is needed.
Political:political interviews are very formal based and quit hard hitting with the questions that are given for the interviewee to answer. these types of interviews are mostly used when dealing with government and economic issues that affect everyone. an example of this interview type: ().
News:high brow news interviews are very formal and mostly political and economical based. they use hard hitting and in-depth answers and the interviewer will be very resourceful in getting the information they need. light hearted news stories are the opposite. these types of interviews are informal and conversational whilst still being able to get the information they need, but just with a different approach to the situation.
