1/24 RUGBY

Though day today on the rugby pitch. We (the university's club team) played Ole Miss today and learned that we have a lot of room for improvement. The team comradity is there, but the know how and the skill is still in the beginning stages. Needless to say but we got our butts handed too us. Good news is that the game didn't count towards our Matrix play, in other words it was just a scrimmage game. That is it, I just thought that today would be a good day to blog about.

What is the purpose of journalism?

What is the purpose of journalism? From what I have learned thus far in my education and experience I feel that journalism can be broken down into several key elements. Information: a journalist must deliver information to the public. Timeliness: a journalist must deliver information in a timely manner so that the story remains relevant to the audience. Choice: a journalist must decide which stories to deliver and which to weed out. Not all stories are relevant to every audience, a stories relevance varies from person to person and place to place. Truth: a journalist must remain truthful at all times. Never is it acceptable to manipulate a story in any way, shape or form. By changing facts or details a journalist not only hurts him or her self but they also damage the relationship between the audience and themselves. Respect: this ties in with TRUTH, a journalist must have respect for the audience in order to gain the respect and trust of the audience. A journalist should never belittle the audience or the information.
That is all I have for now and I am sure I neglected to mention key aspects of journalism, I suppose that is what the comment box is for . Anyway I will be back soon.
