Abstract
The profession of journalism along with its audiences also depends on its
professionals (journalists) to continue its existence. Particularly, the
strengths and weaknesses, qualities and characteristics of journalism of any
country and culture have dependency on the conditions and status of news
workers of that country and culture. This contribution proposes
significance of studying journalists on whom the profession somehow
depends. Moreover, it highlights how the studies of journalism, the
profession called the first draft of history, have been getting the status of an
international tradition and being accepted among scholars. To signify to
journalism and journalists as a field of research a few number of journalism
and journalistic studies, conducted in the various parts of world, have been
enumerated. Further various opinions of some authors have been cited to
sensitize that journalists, in addition to their professional role, are also
members of some society like other common people. Hence, they have also
some religion, culture and political ideology which make them prone to err
and misconduct, therefore, not only the profession but also the professionals
of journalism deserve to be studied to make them accountable
