Based on the assigned reading material as well as the information that we were given in class, I feel that journalism is a form of writing that tells people about things that really happened. That being said, since these news worthy events actually happened, I feel that journalists have the responsibility to inform the public about the truth.
I agree with the material that we learned in class that stated that the most important characteristic of a journalist is curiosity. This however, does not mean that anyone with a bit of curiosity would make a good journalist. Journalists must have a love of reading and writing, a desire to contribute to society, a desire to be independent, a love for being on the inside, and the challenges of going deeper.
I agree! One of my professors talked about this curiosity. She said... do you wake up in the morning wondering what happened in the world while you were asleep? The news can be addicting!
