[Tex/LaTex] Change font for the \paragraph command

Question

If I add something like

\paragraph{Title} Paragraph text

to my LaTeX document, "Title" will have a bold font. I want to change it to \textit. How can I do it for \paragraph{} and \paragraph*{} commands without switching to another document class (maybe using \renewcommand)? I use the report class.

You can load titlesec and add to your preamble:

\titleformat*{\paragraph}{\itshape\mdseries}
