Answers

1. Journalism is the production and the distribution of reports on recent events. The word
journalism applies to the occupation(professional or not), the methods of gathering
information, and the organizing literary styles. Journalistic media include: print,
television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels.

2. The major difference between mass media and social media is this; the mass media puts
the audience in a passive position. Social media puts the audience at the center. People
are both the audience and the content creator, it provides a unique experience of social
collaboration and social interaction.
Over the last 10 years, social media has become an inseparable part of our lives, every
day more and more people are joining social media networks, they create content, interact
with each other, and collaborate with each other.
Even brands are on social media, they organise social media marketing campaigns and
interact with their existing or potential customers.

3. Mainstream media is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various
large mass news media that influence a large number of people, and both reflect and
shape prevailing currents of thought. The term is used to contrast with alternative
mediawhich may contain content with more dissenting thought as they do not reflect
prevailing opinion.
The term is often used for large news conglomerates, including newspapers and broadcast
media, that underwent successive mergersin many countries. The concentration of media
ownership has raised concerns of a homogenization of viewpoints presented to news
consumers. Consequently, the term mainstream media has been widely used in
conversation and the blogosphere, often in oppositional, pejorative, or dismissive senses,
in discussion of the mass media and media bias

The Humble Potato Is Exalted in the

Mountains of Peru
By MADHUR JAFFREY on APRIL 16, 2018

Chahuaytire, Peru — Gumercinda Quispe is a descendant of Peruvian Incas

and here, high in the Andes, more than 12,500 feet above sea level, she has
prepared a nourishing, spicy potato soup, quacha chuño.

She has made it with both fresh potatoes and chuño, the dried, hard white
potatoes that are still prepared just a stone’s throw away. The ancient
preservation process includes soaking them in an icy stream, stomping them
by foot to remove the skins and drying them in the sun.

I love potatoes. They are not a staple in my native India, as they are in Peru.
In India, they are a beloved, cheap treat. Cooked in thousands of different
ways, almost always creatively burnished with selective spoonfuls from a
treasure chest of seasonings and spices, potatoes are served in every town
and village at mealtimes and as chutney-augmented street snacks. I wanted
to learn more about potatoes here in the land of their birth.

In the little mountain village of Chahuaytire near the town of Pisac in

southern Peru, Ms. Quispe and I sat down at a table close to the warm, sooty
hearth in the rustic restaurant where she works. The sun was shining bright
outside, and the sky was a clear, cold blue.

“Put some sauce in the soup and drink from the bowl,” she said, motioning
to the verdant uchucuta sauce she had prepared. “Uchu” means “chiles” in
the Quechua language of the Incas, and “cuta” means “ground.”
