Comedic journalism
Comedic journalism is a new form of journalism, popularized in the twenty-first century, that incorporates a comedic tone to transmit the news to mass audiences, using humour and/or satire to relay a point in news reports. It is therefore not as objective as traditional forms of journalism found in mainstream news media. Comedic journalism has been applied to print media in the past but has experienced a resurgence through the medium of television with shows such as ''The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'', ''The Colbert Report'' and ''The Rick Mercer Report''. Conversely, there has been much criticism about defining these media outlets as “journalism”, since some scholars believe there should be a distinction kept between comedy and journalism.
==History in Canada==
An early example of comedic journalism in Canada is ''Frank'' magazine, founded in Nova Scotia in 1987. According to their website, ''Frank'' is a source of news, satire, opinion, comment and humour. They were inspired by the UK magazine ''Private Eye'', which also uses satire and comedy when reporting on current affairs. ''Frank'' not only focuses on current affairs, but also existing stories long after they have disappeared from mainstream news media. Many consider the magazine to be a “scandal sheet”, a news source that should not be taken seriously. However, ''Frank'' magazine’s counter-argument is that the only thing “wicked” about them is how they expose the sins of others.〔Frank Magazine. 2008. Web. 17 Oct. 2011. 〕
In 1989, ''Frank'' magazine also started circulating in Ottawa. This version of the magazine was not as popular as the original and stopped circulation both in print and online in 2008. Publisher Michael Bates believed that the downfall of the magazine was the rise in popularity of the satirical form of journalism in the twenty-first century. He explained that they had the field of satirical journalism to themselves in the 1990s, but more publications started to pick up this form of journalism and the Ottawa magazine could no longer compete. He also mentioned the rise of the internet as a cause for the new popularity of this form of media.〔Wagner, Vit. "''Frank'' Magazine Folds." ''The Star''. 28 Oct. 2008. Web. 18 Nov. 2011. .〕
