My Draft Work For Entertainment Journalism[edit]
The stub article of Entertainment Journalism is a small article that could be greatly improved over time. It has a small description of what entertainment journalism is, but it doesn't go into too much detail of the different aspects of it. Below is a draft that I am working on pertaining to entertainment journalism. Some ideas I may intend to add to this article include what defies a work as entertainment journalism, what career paths are in entertainment journalism, what skills you need to become an entertainment journalist, possibly some history of entertainment journalism, some popular forms of entertainment journalism, problems in entertainment journalism, and finally the future of entertainment journalism. All of these are just ideas that I have for this article, but some I will take upon myself to add. Anyone who reads this short inscription, please feel free to take it upon yourself and help me fully develop this article. For more information look at the talk page for this sandbox as well as the talk page for Entertainment Journalism.

Hello, my name is Craig McDaniel, President of Sweepstakes Today LLC or www.sweepstakestoday.com. We have been offering the public free of charge online sweepstakes for our members.

We have strong guild lines about the sponsor and promotion we publish to the members. This is to insure safety but also that the prizes when won, are actually given to the winner. Since March 2004, we have published over 65,000 sweepstakes. Over this time, the members have won tens of millions of dollars worth of prizes.
Entertainment Journalism[edit]
Entertainment journalism is any form of journalism that focuses on the entertainment business and its products. Like fashion journalism, entertainment journalism covers industry-specific news while targeting general audiences beyond those working in the industry itself. Common forms include television and film criticism, music journalism, video game journalism, and celebrity coverage.[1][2][3][4] The rise of the Internet allowed many amateur and semi-professional journalists to start their own blogs relating to entertainment journalism.[5]
The Line Between News Journalism and Entertainment Journalism[edit]
News Journalism deals with information of current events or reports of events that have previously occurred.[6] The main purpose of this type of journalism is to inform. [6] Entertainment Journalism deals with information of the entertainment industry such as films, music, fashion, video games, etc.[7] The main purpose of this type of journalism is to entertain.[7]
Journalists can skew facts in a particular matter that cause their story to come across as entertainment.[8] This action can have a profound effect on the consumer, making the authenticity of the report questionable.[8] Cases of this problem happing can occur in News Articles, Magazines, and Documentaries.[8]
Popular Forms of Entertainment Journalism[edit]
Film Criticism[edit]
A review or analysis of a motion picture released to the public.[5] The critic's review or analysis is subjective and informative, with a focus to inform and entertain the consumer.[5] Film criticism is considered to have had a major impact on the integration of the cinema into mainstream media.[5] It is stated that film criticism wasn't fully accepted as an art until film was widely accepted in the 1960's.[5] The Internet has further advanced the acceptance of this entertainment journalism with the introduction of film blogs and film review sites.[5] Some popular film review sites and blogs include Rotten Tomatoes, IMBD, and Metacritic. For more information on this topic check out it's wikipedia page.
Music Journalism[edit]
Video Game Journalism[edit]
A form of journalism that covers all aspects of the video game industry. The birth of the computer age in the 1990's forced media companies to release content that would attract consumers in the video game generation.[5] Visually stimulating print magazines were introduced into the market, covering the video game industry.[5] Some popular video game review sites and pint based magazines include IGN, Game Informer, Nintendo Power, and GameSpot.
