05.00 Reporter's Notebook


I think writing is one of the most important mediums of thought to ever be. You can express thoughts and feelings and put it out in the world for other to see and comprehend. Written word is important because you can edit it and really get your real thoughts out. When speaking your words can get changed or you can lose thoughts that could've made your story more clear or greater. You can also analyze things further when you have time to sit down and really understand what the article is trying to express to its audience. Writing impartially can be difficult but is possible. As a reporter, your job is to report, right in the title. If you litter your story with your opinions and biases then it no longer becomes a report, rather a rant. Humans automatically but their bias into everything, but holding it back for the greater good is not impossible.
