Today we live in an age of real time news where the world can witness world changing events as they happen.
But what exactly is news? News is the information that gives people knowledge they didn’t know before, which informs them about things locally, nationally or globally. It must be current and relevant to its audience. It should evoke a response and grab the attention to keep the audience interested.
News can be divided in to two types, hard and soft. Hard news being about death, war and accidents. Soft being funny and entertaining. It's about individuals known and unknown if they do something unusual. There must be a good balance between the two. What is written must be corroborated always with good sources.
To report high quality news you must be a good journalist. What is it though that journalists do? Journalists inform people about things that are vital to their lives. They report news objectively and fairly by putting aside their own beliefs and views.
How do I feel about becoming a journalist? I feel very passionate and excited about it. It's been something I have wanted for so long and to be given the chance to study and change my career fires me up. To be able to finally follow the footsteps of my father and develop my own media career motivates me even further to succeed.
