Literature is the mirror of society. Before the 18th century, thinkers of the society gave ethical, social and philosophical views through local songs, Lyrics, Poems, Parables, Drama etc. But in modern age, it is being done by the process of Journalism. Today it has emerged as a new means of literature and as such it plays a pivotal role in influencing the taste of reading public as well as that of the common mass. It has its visible and invisible impact on all aspects of modern life. Journalism and Literature grew with differences, but their motto is the same – a journalist as well as a man of literature both hanker after the same thing – the story and the truth. The present paper is an attempt to explore the relationship between Literature and Journalism.
