Notes towards a definition of journalism
In the opening to his essay on the education of journalists, Canadian journalism educator, G. Stuart Adam writes: “Journalism is made; it doesn’t just happen. So the language we use to see it and teach it must be akin to the language of art. The language of art encourages students to enter the imagination of the artist and meditate on how the artist does what he or she does…I have tried in this piece to create a language that expresses what I and other journalists are doing as we work off our palettes.”
