Dear,

It basically depends on your choice  and taste.

Journalism is content that people seek out and is useful, informative and relevant to the audience, regardless of something particular to say.

Advertising is something a company wants to say, regardless of whether it’s useful, informative or relevant to the audience and it is usually content a company has to push at the audience.

Journalism has a vide scope and exposue whereas advertising is limited to particular segment like promoting a brand, company or product.
