Television now plays an important role in our life. It is difficult to say if it is good or bad. It is clear that television has advantages and disadvantages.

In the first place television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theater or cinema. They turn on the TV set and can see interesting films, concerts, football matches.

But some people think that it is bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives.

The UK and Ireland have an 'open' system of admission to journalism, that is, any person can become a journalist simply by becoming employed as a journalist. There are no educational requirements nor is there any necessity to join or be admitted to a professional body. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ), with 33,000 members in the UK and Ireland (of whom 3,000 approx. are in Ireland) is the body to which most journalists belong.

There are about 5,000 journalists in the UK who are not members of the NUJ, most of whom are not members of any organisation for journalists.

The NUJ rules for admission are very simple: a person must be working at journalism full time or, if a freelance (or self employed) earn at least 66 percent of their earnings from journalistic work. There is no judgment about the person's abilityto work as a journalist. Evidence of earnings is all that is required to establish eligibility for mem­bership.
