Who are Journalists?

The job of a journalist is a very important one, one of which we are dependent upon for news.

A journalist job is the reporting, writing, editing and broadcasting of the news among other things.

Anyone can be a journalist, whether the journalist is trustworthy or not is a different story.

For example, a journalist writes the articles you read in the morning newspaper and another journalist writes what appears on the “news feed” on your facebook page.

Another job of a journalist is to find stories that have the elements of journalism; impact, conflict, novelty, prominence, proximity, timeliness, engagement and solutions.

Then, the following step is to conduct interviews in order to be reliable and collect information other people know that you did not.

However, the most important part if journalism in my opinion is to be able to report the breaking news and be one of the first ones to write about it so people will want to read about your story.
