Description
Summary:The existential value of journalism has been debated since its birth. Journalism is regulated not only by the constraints of communication technology, but more importantly, by the social character, political system and ideology of the sate and region in which it lies. It is therefore impossible for journalism to formulate a universal and unified criterion for assessing its value. However, this does not prevent journalism exchanges and mutual learning between nations and regions.

One example is the first of constructive journalism round the world in recent years.
