What is journalism?

Journalism is a field where you collect, process, analyze and disseminate  information. The aim of journalism is to inform the audience and to get the feedback. Journalism is a creative profession, where it is important to be transparent, objective, credible and truthful in reporting. Otherwise, journalism will suffer.  A reporter is responsible for whatever he writes in his articles, because public perception of things is really vulnerable. As a journalist you have to be aware of everything, you have to seek something new and share your views with the rest of the world. And while doing that you have to know your audience, and you have to be able to foresee its reaction. Journalism is not only about writing and reporting, it also involves being a good psychologist. You are dealing with people and you have to know how to influence them. It is not an easy thing to do, but nevertheless, most of the journalists have this ‘gut feeling’ of things. In my opinion, journalism is so diversified, that it includes every single profession. Sheer professionals in journalism are people who are not only well-trained, but are those who bring extra ‘something’ to their jobs.
