A journal article is a piece of literature that is written by a researcher that describes an experiment that I have done and includes background knowledge. The researchers hypothesis methods materials participants and results. Its main purpose is to put data out there. That is interesting or useful to the public. These articles are primarily read by other scientists and students so the general public never really sees them and this is why we have journal de journalism. The peer review cycle is an article published or not published so how this works. This and author or sciences commonly college. Professors faculty will write an article described you as study that increasingly conducted and so from there after writing article they send the material off to an editor at a publication also known as a journal and the editor will review their work and right off the back and either reject it based on their feelings for the article or decide to send it off to some reviewers which are experts in the field that the article was written in. So if it's entered the reviewers these three years of experts will look over the article. They will be checking for validity of content. And you know they'll make their own revisions of 50 or necessary or suggestions for revisions or it may suggested together that the article be reject you and not published at all for various reasons after that the viewers will send it back to the editors and the material back together with their suggestions and revisions. The editor will review that information and generate their own opinion on where to go forward and they will then contact the author potentially with suggestions forward visions or with the rejection notice or possibly advising them to do nothing at all it's been published. What's in the articles published an established journal. There's the potential for the media to get ahold the information if it is interesting or relevant and this can be a good thing or a bad thing one day benefit of the journal to journalism process.

Is that the journal and the researchers name get put out there which obviously is going to have positive implications for the researcher themselves another Pro is that the journalism process kind of summarizes important information for the general audience. So it makes it easier to digest for someone who doesn't have any specialized education or any general knowledge about what the papers about unfortunately journals do cost money and sometimes that price is really high so someone with no expertise in the field is not going to want to pay for it. So by taking this into the mainstream media the cost is less but the important information is study they put out there. Another con of the journal to journalism aspect is that the media sometimes likes to pick and choose what it puts out there so they might find interesting articles and they'll just put the information out there that they think will get the most views not necessarily if it's true or not so an example of this is the positive correlation of drowning deaths and ice cream sales so the media might say oh when ice cream sales go up so to drowning death while they're not saying that it's because they both occur during the summer if more people slam during the summer more drownings going to occur and more ice cream. Sales are going to occur in the summer and the media might not say that because that's not is interesting as saying that ice cream sales and drowning desk quarterly so that is a huge con of general journalism so another con of the journal to journalism aspect is that the media does not go as in-depth as journal articles as we know having read several journal. Articles can eat up to 30 pages long while a media coverage of it won't even be 30 minutes and they're not likely to throw out stats test on you and they're not likely to say a lot of stats as we know sis full test can be very important which one you brought whether it's one sample T test or a paired sample T test or an ANOVA or chi-square something like that the media will not say that because for one they probably jump it what it is to the general audience probably won't know what it is.

I'm sure a lot of us didn't know what it was until they took this class and they're only really going to pick out the more interesting percentages and they're just to shock the viewers so that way they're more intrigued and are more likely to stay to watch the whole thing not necessarily it's even if it even pertains to the study or not and they'll normally only state general causal statements and and some experiments that we've learned you can't always make causal statements to stuff that one experiment so overall that's a very big con in the journal journalism.
