What are you reading?

Investigating!



What do people want to read about?

.Love?
.Life?
.Drama?

Journalism is about finding the best way to report, entertain, and take a hold of your readers mind and keep them interested in what you as the Journalist has to say.

I have learned that Journalism is what makes the world go round. Think about it, the normal person's live typically consist of the same boring routine. Getting up going to work, eating, spending time with loved ones and then repeating this over and over again. What Journalism does is it takes these everyday steps and documents them but instead of blabbing about the boring parts it pulls out the best or the cream of the crop information. Everyone likes to read about different topics, but I have found that most are obsessed with tips of things such as; love, drama, health and fitness, soul searching and mystery. People want to read about something crazy and exciting, because when life is typical and boring its nice to relax and read articles or books on things that put a sense of spark in your life.

 Journalism ties people together by discussing issues that without Journalism would have never been throughly researched and analysed. Journalism goes together with Media. Media has a huge effect on all our lives. Journalism is the story and the Media is what takes that story and sends it out so that the whole world can have a hand at reading it. 

Although there are many topics to write about Journalist do have guidelines they must follow to do so:

  1. Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.
  2. Its first loyalty is to the citizens.
  3. Its essence is discipline of verification.
  4. Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover.
  5. It must serve as an independent monitor of power.
  6. It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise.
  7. It must strive to make the news significant, interesting, and relevant.
  8. It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional.
  9. Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience.

Journalism is something that will always be here. Society will always have the to desire to read and write. People want to hear, see and talk about what is going on in the World in which they live.

SPREAD THE WORD...Journalism!

  1. I think you make a good point when you say "journalism makes the world go round." In many ways we all act like journalists, finding stories, listening, then interpreting them and passing them on. Nice Blogg
