Disseminate
Journalist's Disseminate
A journalist collects and disseminates information about current events, people, trends, and issues. His or her work is acknowledged as journalism.
Reporters are one type of journalist. They create reports as a profession for broadcast or publication in mass media such as newspapers, television, radio, magazines, documentary film, and the Internet. Reporters find sources for their work, their reports can be either spoken or written, and they are often expected to report in the most objective and unbiased way to serve the public good. A columnist is a journalist who writes pieces that appear regularly in newspapers or magazines.
Depending on the context, the term journalist also includes various types of editors and visual journalists, such as photographers, graphic artists, and page designers. A more formal definition of the term is those who may be admitted to membership of a national or regional association (union) of journalists.
Journalists put the information in their own words, making it creative in their own way so it will catch the reader's or viewer's attention.
Disseminate in terms of the field of communication
To disseminate, in terms of the field of communication, it means to broadcast a message to the public without direct feedback from the audience. Dissemination takes on the theory of the traditional view of communication, which involves a sender and receiver. The traditional communication view point is broken down into a sender sending information, and receiver collecting the information processing it and sending information back, like a telephone line.
Disseminated Disease
Disseminated disease refers to a diffuse disease process, generally either infectious or neoplastic, but sometimes also referring to connective tissue disease.
A disseminated infection, for example, is one that has extended beyond its origin or nidus and involved the bloodstream to "seed" other areas of the body. Similarly, metastatic cancer can be viewed as a disseminated infection in that it has extended into the bloodstream or the lymphatic system to "seed" distant sites (known as metastasis).
Disseminated disease is often referred to in contrast to localized disease.
