Abstract
This study explored the presence and impact of language errors in print media on linguistic integrity and effective communication. Given the crucial role of print media as a primary means of communication in society, maintaining high standards of language usage is essential. The primary objective of this research was to identify the potential harm that language errors can inflict on language structure and understanding. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to a diverse sample of participants, including university professors from Kabul University, provincial universities, and media journalists. The analysis revealed that language errors disrupt proper language structure, undermine linguistic rules, create misunderstandings, diminish media credibility, and distort content meaning, leading to an artificial use of language. The findings aim to assist media professionals in recognizing the adverse effects of language errors and implementing strategies to promote standard linguistic practices. Ultimately, this study sought to enhance public understanding and ensure that media retains its value and credibility.
