commenly when we hear the word "journalism" then immediately  the newspapers, radio, tv and internet come in our minds, which are truly medium through them we are aware about the journalism but these are traditional journalism commen all over the world,
locally many terms and methods are used for this and one of them is "Haalhawal" which is now strong part of the culture in Balochistan, if two or more than two people meet with each others and don't perform the activity of "Haalhawal" so they don't be remembered with good words,
basically the purpose of "Haalhawal" is to share all of those news which you have listened, watched, and felt in your journey and be aware of thos all situation happened in your absence,
it has a particular method, rules and words which aren't ignorable at any cost,
it starts with the greetings and the word of "vsh aathky" or "Babu khaerat" mean "welcome" after it a long conversation start between host and guest with basic rules of it and  questions and answers ,
like host starts  with welcome and guest answers  thank you with applauses and prays, then host thanked to God with holy names and  again aske to guest "Haal kan" mean "share" with this question guest stars a long and continusally speech thanking and admiring to God, he shares every news before host like from where he is coming?, when he left?, how he traveled?, how was the journey?, whom he saw at way?, how was weather?, who met him?, how was the situation of that place?, how was the way?, every thing which is related to the journey, area from where he is coming, and people and situation from his first step to the last step of host's home,
It has some very important rules or method of it are that if a guest  cames and many people sitting then this activity will be start by the person who is elder or senior in "deewan"(group sitting) ,

if two persons meet at the way then it's the duty of that person who is riding or driving not on foot one,
as we know that we are in the society of tribalism and here women are not much engaged with men but if there is no men present in home where guest arrives so this duty would be performed by senior women too,
Caring about ethics are so necessary for it like no lies, over self bravness and bad mouthing others are considered bad,
Because of this activitiy society get awareness of situation, news regarding different areas where they may not visited for long time, about the people and weather of that area, 

and one of most best is to build confident of speaking and reminding the memories,
