The “fourth estate” is one of the most sine qua none means of media simply because it is considered as one of the powerful competitor with the social institutions in affecting the mass and also in making the public opinion. Besides, it is widespread among all members of community even if they have different ideological, social, intellectual and cultural inclinations. In fact, the visual media also has a direct and powerful impact on recipients, but it is just an instantaneous influence while the newspaper remains as a historical document which allows people to return back to it wherever and whenever they need. The domain of journalism is based on ethics and values like (objectivity, impartiality and neutrality) which must be followed by journalists in order to attain a certain level of credibility; the loss of any of these journalistic values may lead to tabloidization which has a negative impact on the domain of journalism since it demolishes and destroys its noble mission.
