The Journalism profession gets questioned a lot nowadays.
Trump yells about fake news, and sometimes the media is biased unkind to the public. However, without Journalism or the news, the public would never get the full story. They would not get the information that they need in their community or the world.
I want to be the person that shows the world what they are missing. I want to give the public the information that they deserve to know.
I know that it will be hard work, but I'm ready for it. I love my News Reporting and Writing class at school, because it talks about how a news team really works - sitting at a table going through ideas, and presenting story topics that could work for a newspaper.
I love to write, and I want to help people any way I can - I believe that, in Journalism, I have found the best of both worlds by writing and delivering information to the public. Whether it's information on the community bake sale, Hurricane Irma or other natural disasters, local crime, or how the president just passed a law that caused controversy, I want to be there to report on it. I want to show that not everything is "fake news," and that the public deserves to hear what we, as writers, have to say. It's important, because it doesn't just give us a job. It benefits the entire community.
It informs everybody.
There are many forms of journalism - opinionated, world, lifestyle, travel. The list goes on. No matter what, I am sure to learn and experience so much on the path to becoming a Journalist. I could run a small paper; I could travel the world. The limits are endless.
