While often used interchangeably, the terms content writing, copywriting, and journalism differ based on intent.
Journalism is aimed at reporting facts, while content writing is about educating and entertaining the readers and copywriting persuades them to take action.
Copywriting is considerably short as compared to content writing and contains a clear call to action. It is mainly used for writing short slogans and catchy sentences in advertising industry.
Journalism, on the other hand, doesn’t have a call to action.
