To be a journalist
Do you want to be a journalist in the future?If you do,here are some things you should remember.
As a journalist,it is your job to show true information to the public.The “truth” was the password to get into the computer system of the first journalism job that I had.You have to write the truth of what you see and hear and let the public form an opinion.
You should write articles from a third person's point of view.Don't be surprised if your editor rewrites your first article.Don't feel hurt if an editor doesn't like a phrase in your article,or he makes some changes.Editors must do their jobs.You will soon get to know the editors and they will soon get to know your writing style.
Sometimes you have time to do this,while other times you are working on a tight deadline.You should be able to work on a tight deadline as a journalist.Not only is this important if you are writing news stories,but it is also a great training for any writer.The more you write,the better quality you can get in a limited time period.
