If not then journalism is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder... err, well it sounded good in my head. PR and advertising have very definite aims in mind - selling the product, company or politician. While journalism can do that, we (well, I) tend to dislike journalism which is seen to be selling something. They may push an idea, but if it's the same idea every week we may feel we're being bullied. I feel it should be about informing and entertaining.
