RE: So, You Think You Can Be A Journalist?



In today's competitive news market there are hundreds and even thousands of journalist trying to get into the field. It's a fun opportunity but also requires a lot of skills in order for you to the succeed with the job.

I believe that the most important thing to have in order to be a good journalist is passion. Brian Baker himself has always been the person who always wanted to state his opinion and thats where his passion comes from. Passion is key in almost any job, because you need to enjoy doing what you do.

Another thing that is needed to be come a good journalist is being creative. You really need to think outside of the box and stick out between all of the competition. Almost anyone can write but how you write and how the readers view your work is key. You need to have a strong voice of opinion and able to summarize stories effectively.

Knowledge is very important in the journalism field because facts is what people want and ask for. You need good research skills and know a lot about the journalism field of work. Being able to know the background information about this job field is important too because you know how everything works around and what is needed to get the job done. Deadlines are also very important, you need to be organized and able to meet with deadlines.

The journalism field is a very competitive field but it is filled with many talented and hard working people. It takes a lot of skills to work in this field but it is definitely for people who love to write and state their opinion. It is just amazing to see how journalist get to show their work to almost everyone in the world.
