The world of journalism

The world of journalism has given the English language a great number of expressions. An important key for a journalist is scoop. This is a major news story. It described a story that a journalist discovered before his rivals. Another key journalism word is source. A source is a person who gives a journalist information for a story, instead many new stories, particularly scandals, use the suffix gate. This began with the scandal of the 1970s. Spin is more recent expression. This means to control a story, and to manipulate journalists and public opinion.
