SUBJET: I would like to be a journalist
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to explain what a journalist
is dedicated to making in a normal day of work. Also I will
share the advantages and disadvantages of this profession.
To prepare for this I visited two of the most popular journalist at
the moment: Claire Stevenson and Lauren Richards who give
me several reason to choose this career as an option to do in
the future although they talk to me about some things that they
want to change
Pros and Cons of this profession
There are pros and cons to most jobs and journalism is no
exception. So here is a quick list of the main advantages and
disadvantages of working in journalism
Pros:
To be seen and often respected by the general public as
someone of authority and influence like celebrities or
presidents
Being invited to cover various events such as theatre
performances and restaurant meal reviews for FREE!
You get paid to write, something that most newspaper
journalists should have a passion for doing in the first
place
Cons:
Lots of people are unpleasant when you interview them
Extremely competitive to get into
Low job security
Stress and Changing Job Market
Journalists are constantly "under deadline." When stories happen, news outlets
are motivated to be the first ones on the scene, the first ones to report the story

and the first ones to get that key interview -- and that puts tremendous pressure
on this people.
Also In the world of the "American Journalism," the journalists should be "adapt or
die, since with the invention of internet some professionals can not
transform as bloggers, youtubers, etc, and now nobody remember them.
Conclusion
I would like to be a journalist in the future owing to as a hobby and not as a
profession, For this i could take just a few journalism courses, for learn more
about this career. In the end, I dont know what I want to do as a profession in
the future. However I have a lot of time to choose one.
