My Thoughts on Journalism

Journalism to me is using the power of my words and forming them into a piece that is comprehensible and intriguing to a diverse audience. By a diverse audience, I mean those who might be interested in the topic, those who might lack interest and those who might have no pre-existing knowledge on the subject at all. Journalism is an art, one that I especially enjoy because it is carefully crafted yet so expressive and in a way, it provides a sense of freedom. In writing an essay about sexual selection on the topic of evolution, I was asked to include conflicting viewpoints coming from different journalists in my writing. One of the articles I read directly criticized another for their excessive use of jargon in a scientific article, jumbling sophisticated words together that only a scientist or a newspaper fanatic could understand. Their viewpoints got me thinking to myself; journalism should be conveyed in a way that the general public can appreciate. Now, this doesn’t mean I believe in dumbing down my work or down-playing a serious topic to fit the margins. I believe in holding society to a higher standard than we currently do, and I also believe that we fail our peers by neglecting to provide them with accurate information and education. Which is exactly why I hold a firm opinion on the subject of STEM education. Journalism should be intriguing, understandable, educational and exciting all at once. Journalism is a jaw-dropping headline about a seemingly boring subject, journalism is a flow of relatable humor mixed with professionalism, it’s being stuck at the keyboard trying to come to the perfect metaphor for a complicated topic until the cogs finally start turning. Journalism is living inside your writing, lacing the emotion of your personal experiences into the background of the factual evidence you are providing the world with. You want to make them question, to urge them to dive deeper into the subject and open their mind to things they never knew existed. The public deserves to form their own opinions and have real, factual news delivered to them in full context. This is what journalism means to me.
