6 reasons why you should choose journalism

(Baonghean.vn) - In today's diverse world of work, journalism is a profession that attracts young, dynamic and eager-to-learn people. Pursuing a career in journalism, you have the opportunity to "travel" to many places and learn about many new things.

1. A dynamic and always new profession

Journalism is always one of the professions that gives you the most dynamic and new feeling. Simply because you are the one who reports on new things. If you hate repetition, this is a very noteworthy "address". The flow of events is constantly flowing out there, and what could be better than when you - the journalist, are always the first to arrive, know in advance and then pass it on to the "eagerly waiting" public.

After a period of working as a journalist and getting used to the job, sometimes you are surprised by your own quickness, "industrial" style, and ability to adapt to time pressure.

2. Make money while being a student

Journalism is a difficult field for students, requiring a lot of skills. However, once you have been trained in a professional teaching environment, your ability will certainly improve very quickly. With just a little "capital", you can write news articles, interviews to send to newspapers and earn extra income for yourself.

Remember, the press offices in our country always welcome "articles and notebooks" from collaborators. As long as you try and make an effort, you will certainly earn yourself a considerable amount of money.

In addition, journalism itself is a special profession. It is not only when you have a stable position at a press agency that you are a real journalist. With the development of Internet journalism in our country today, the door of opportunity is always open for you. Royalties for Vietnamese journalists are also constantly increasing. There have been many good and unique articles that have been paid royalties of up to millions. Thus, as a talented journalist, you always have the ability to create a relatively prosperous life with your honest pen.

3. You have the opportunity to assert yourself

With the press, you - a talented journalist - can completely create a unique "portrait" of yourself, not mixed with anyone else on the newspaper pages, on the radio waves, on the television screen and in the hearts of the public. They like to listen to and watch the radio and television programs that you produce, like to read the articles you write.

For journalists, the trust and love of the public is always the most precious reward.

4. You hold the power of public opinion in your hands.

Remember the Watergate story and the fourth estate? As the creator and guide of public opinion, you represent the voice of the majority of the people. But that is why you should be careful with your “words” in the press.

Verifying and evaluating the source of information is always the first principle of a journalist.

5. Improve teamwork skills

Journalism includes many subjects that require teamwork, so this is a good opportunity for you to improve your teamwork skills. From presentations, assignments... you are the key factor, combining with other people to create the most complete product.

6. You have the opportunity to “travel” to many places and learn about many new things.

Of course, these trips come with many perks. But never let that be the main reason for you to choose journalism as a career. Because when you enter the profession, many people realize that these “travels” are not as interesting as you thought, when your mind is always spinning with news, articles and your hands are working non-stop.

After all, as a journalist, you can be proud of your knowledge of local areas, cultural customs and even “culinary” destinations.
