Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Structural functionalism holds that human societies tend to evolve toward increased differentiation, in which institutions become increasingly specialized in the functions they perform. Some scholars-most notably Alexander (1981)-have argued that the development of journalism should be seen in this light.
