Its nice to heard about the number of pepole using Internet for Quick Acess to the news or events.Internet is becoming more popular and it automatically created a huge competition among the Print as well as electronic media. Everyone wants to present the news as early as possible. My question is that Is this competition among these medias violating the art of or in better words we can say, the Moral of Journalism?"
