Newspaper journalism

Local journalism: Local journalism reports on public affairs, events, and institutions within a defined community. Local newspapers connect reporting to nearby governments, schools, businesses, and residents.
Broadcast journalism: Broadcast journalism reports news through radio and television. Its audio and visual formats contrast with newspapers' printed text and still images.
Investigative journalism: Investigative journalism examines concealed wrongdoing or systemic problems through sustained research. It extends newspaper reporting beyond immediate events to evidence hidden from public view.
