Journalism, the practice of investigating and reporting events, issues and trends to the mass audiences of print, broadcast and online media such as newspapers, magazines and books, radio and television stations and networks, and blogs and social and mobile media. To attain my journalism diploma I plan to attend Columbia university where I will be able to excel and succeed, there are many writing style such as, News writing: the prose writing style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television, books and the Internet. Reporters: the people who gather facts for the stories they are assigned to write, I however plan to be a Columnist: an article writer who gives an opinion on a topic. Or I plan to be editing stories to improve the work of other people. They correct grammar errors and straighten out organizational issues. They write headlines and make sure the publication has a consistent style. At many publications, copy editors are an endangered species and journalists are expected to get it right the first time with no safety net. Journalism is not a very stable career, in terms of money. Until you attract some attention/get your name and writing out there, you'll be doing freelance work. I look forward to writing hard news stories that are short, very timely and focus on telling you what's just happened starting with the most important thing first.
