As a journalistic writer in high school, you have to have a consistent work ethic. If you are not up to up to date and relevant with current events, it is no longer news, only a story. Part of having a consistent work ethic is making taking the extra mile to make it to events, whether it is sports, educational, or weather. These stories have to have great substance, by making it to an event and typing is only have the battle. The talented side takes place when writing the story. Part of journalistic flow is linking your readers to the story and putting your own voice into it.
I've learned it requires more effort and a greater thought process to create quality work for the public. Some audiences don't realize what journalists go through to bring them stories and news. It also requires the writer to be objective to all opinions and point of views. You cannot have a bias point of view no matter your preference on sport, team, or school.
As a journlaistic student, I have made strides as a writer that has put me above my peers as writers. Writing lets you express yourself or at least voice your opinion. Writing and expressing is a feeling that not many can relate to and a love for it. It requires creative flows that are unmatchable.
