Journalism changes today’s history. Journalism and History go hand and hand in multiple different ways. In Rodger Streitmatter’s “Mightier Than The Sword,” I agree with the idea that Journalist have an enormous role in shaping our history. Streitmatter says “THE NEWS MEDIA HAVE SHAPED AMERICAN HISTORY. ABSOLUTELY. Boldly. Profoundly.” Journalist have a way of putting words together and making it something bigger than themselves. They don’t just shape history but become part of history themselves.

A multitude of journalists leaves a mark on the world by the pieces they share and the work that they have done. Writers have the capability of displaying events in whichever way they wish to share it with the public. Credible news for historical events are a vital part of creating history and journalists are the creators of that. Journalism is an entirely separate world that is unique and a part of what makes history. These two subjects create and will continue to create history today.
