Career in Journalism
Journalism includes gathering, presenting and distributing daily and past events in a systematic way through print or electric mediums. Journalism is a form of communication which is unique because it’s a one-way message or story from the journalist to the audience. A journalist acts as a conduit, narrating about something that happened or is happening based on observations and discoveries.
The area of journalism is very wide; it operates in various domains of interest. If someone enjoys writing and thinks of it as a great medium of education then, one can very well find themselves making a career in Journalism.
