It's been a literal long while since I have posted anything. Blame it on fatigue and being overzealous with other rakets that made me burn out of blogging. Anyway, why don't we discuss something nice to begin with? Like Journalism. Boring? Yeah, just a bit. The definition side that is. But in practice, it's one hell of a job, or career.
So what is journalism? If we base it on my own terms, it's reporting via a medium, whether that be through this blog or the internet in general or through print or broadcast, of information that is deemed critical and a must for society to know. The kind of information usually varies. It can range from news, lifestyle, sports, technology and even entertainment (which, let's face it, is worth scrat for knowledge gathering).
COMFORT THE AFFLICTED, AFFLICT THE COMFORTABLE
It is said to be the purpose of journalism. In a way I believe it is rightfully so. Meandering in their lives, people tend to look only on their problems and not give a single glance at the cancer slowly eating up the community, the nation.
The elites, no matter how philanthropic they get, still get to go home in brick houses, sturdy mansions, and ride under the torrential rains in their shiny cars. The working class and the poor they said they donate a million or two of their bank accounts here and there? Still the same old, same old.
We've been lucky to be living an affluent life. But what about others that aren't as lucky as us? It's our job to make you aware. But the methods shouldn't be nice. It's a shock treatment kind of thing. It's no use if you are brought up to date with it in a nice way, you'll just disregard it.
We're not the heroes you need. Never was. Never will be. But we'll make you very angry at yourself.
