Journalism, Satire or Just Laugh? "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," Examined

1. I believe Jon Stewart is a journlist. Though he claims he isnt, i believe the work he does makes him a journalist. He reports news and though he does it in an orginal way he is still doing it.

2. The fact that Stewart is reporting the daily news will lead people to consider him a journalist.

3. The show is similar to what people get from mainstream press because it is still informing about daily events and important news. However, it differes in the way he informs the public. His use of humor makes him stand out among the rest.

4. Shows like "The Dialy Show" satirize the field of journalism itself because Stewart himself is making fun of the fact that he is reporting different news to the people. By making fun of himself, he is aslso mocking and ridiculing journlists and graduates of such majors.
