| Journalism | |||||||||||
| I am planning to pursue a career in journalism. By definition journalism is the collecting and editing of news for presentation through the media. I feel journalism is an important form of communication. Journalism is a good field to enter because there is always news, and the world will always want to know about it. I want to be a reporter, so that I can investigate and write a variety of news stories. Although it may take years of experience to make up to $67,000 a year,or at least that's what AOL's Salary & Benefits claims, there is a certain satisfaction from public interest that I find priceless. |

| As long as day turns into night, there will always be news. In today's world, our newspapers and newsstands are over flowing with news. Not all good news, which is hard to find, with an overdose of bad news, journalist in today's society need not have feelings but keep an open mind. It is very important that facts dominate opinion, unless you're writing a persuassive article. Journalists should also be tactful. |

| Creativity plays a major role in journalism too. Sometimes veracity is not exciting; therefore, it is up to the reporter to obtain the readers attention with a smooth gospel of words. With many people longing for attention a reporter must investigate every story to uncover the truth and build creditibility. |

| The harder you work the more money you earn? has always been my motto when I've felt like giving up. Some reporter jobs may require a bachelors degree and others may want at least five years experience, if not both. In the long run, a journalist in Hampton Virginia can make as much as $65,486 a year or if in Indianapolis, Indiana $67,104 a year. With the treasured comfort of relaying valuable information, a journalist greatest accomplishment is public awareness. |

| Journalism is a very competitive field. With the correct knowledge and a diverse writing style, some writers may find connecting with the public alluring, while others find it difficult and toilsome. With a world full of anarchy and confusion, a journalist should bring relief and comfort through words or virtue. What better way to spread appeasement through words than through a journalist. |
