My Future in Journalism
The news industry seems to be teetering back and forth, especially with the economy. The industry is declining in the print field, in both magazines and newspapers. I would definitely look for a job in the broadcast media field if were planning to be a journalist by next year. Ideally, I would love a job in magazine writing and public relations. However, the fact that numerous magazines are closing down consistently is somewhat pushing me towards a new direction. Broadcast media would be an ideal platform, regardless if it is on television or for news internet blogging. People are more interested with technological gadgets. Thus, watching television would be more appropriate for news gatherers, especially at a younger age. For those who are more technologically inclined, they could find their stories on the internet. With broadcasting, it is more visually appetizing and pleasing to the eye and grasps the viewer more than just simply reading words. If i could, I would also find a way to write articles for online news websites. It would be nice to maybe write articles parallel to video blogss, to further inform the audience of the topic. Overall, I believe that students who are searching for a job sometime in the near future, should try to find one in broadcast or the more interactive medium, the internet.
