American journalism
U.S. news industry
American journalism refers to the news media industry and practice in the United States, encompassing newspapers, broadcast news, and digital outlets.
The phrase often carries implicit criticism—concerns about sensationalism, corporate ownership, partisan bias, or the erosion of investigative reporting: American journalism has abandoned objectivity.
It can also invoke ideals of the free press as democratic watchdog: American journalism at its best holds power accountable.
