Why “Bad journalism” formula is used?

Abstract

The article deals with the discussions about one of the problems of the global media, "bad journalism". Western experts cite an example of "bad journalism" by American media magnate William Randolph Hearst in journalism in 1898. This is an example of a British journalist, former editor of the London-based “Observer”, taken from “Universal Journalist” by David Rendall for the journalists from Central Asia. The article includes a publication and the forces behind it, including February 17: "The enemy has a hand in destroying a war ship", February 18: "The whole country is in a military malaria," February 20: "Havana residents are insulting the memories of those who died in “Maine”, February 23: “Maine's treacherous demolition”, February 26: “The Journal urged its readers to write a letter to congressmen of their choice”, March 22: "War is the only way out of crisis!”, March 28:“ War or shame? "April 1: “War!”, April 6: “The war is not so long”; April 13: “Congress is about to announce war!”. All of the above mentioned materials can prove the actions committed in order to attract the population to the war, to make the leaders of Spain worried about the case and to disturb the US military. For the formula of "bad journalism" by the author of the article, D. Rendall, he suggests to exemplify a one-on-one review of the events of May 13, 2005 in Andijan, Uzbekistan. First of all, the court found that foreign journalists had visited Andijan three days ago. Hearst also sent his reporter three days in advance. The BBC and other Western media were misinformed, and worst of all, other countries media outlets blindly copied. It is the first of its consequences for the world community that false information is being spread as truth. The author compares the first news released to the "unexpected shock" in the American-Japanese conflict and its effectiveness. Even after the Uzbek authorities reported that the intruders had killed the border guards, soldiers and officers, and then raided the city with the help of international terrorists before taking over the Andijan region, it was not recognized as truth. Instead of correcting information, new charges-have been filed, such as those in the Hearst case. More than one hundred sailors died in the 1898 US shipwreck. Blood shed. The indictment: "The Spanish government did this." There was bloodshed in Andijan as well. The charge is the same - "The Uzbek government did this." The BBC did not say, “It would not have happened if there had not been an international terrorist attack”. The author simply answers the question of “why?” by saying that their purpose was different.
