From my point of view , anyone can be a journalist , but it is not a very easy task. Also , anyone can declare himself or herself as a journalist , and now most of the people doing journalism via online
( Internet ). It means, e-journalism as blogger, word-press , tumbler and other blogging sites. Even though social medias are being utilized as a journalism tool- facebook , twitter , Google+ , LinkedIn and etc.
Journalism is one of the most significant field in the world which is also recognized as the backbone of mass-media. But setting to be a professional journalist , a person who is paid to do journalism work-something is very difficult task.
As well as, a journalist should have some qualities and personal characteristics , in order to doing his career very successfully. Physical and mental health , very good command of English , good educational background , having responsible , knowledge of many subjects , it means-history , science , politics , and technology because journalist deal with so many different topics on public importance also should take advantage of every educational opportunities , are also expected qualities and characteristics for a good journalist.
In addition , if a person who wants to be a journalist who should become a keen observer. This is also emphasized as one of the very crucial characteristics for a journalist. A person also strives to learn from the environment through his keen observation of his continuous activities maybe from working place(office) , studying place (University / Institute ) , home environment and etc. Always , his observation and perception should be in different ways from other people , is important.
To the same extent , a journalist must be a good reader. day-by-day he should keep on reading skills in various aspects , and build up his vocabulary too , also it will take him up and enrich his knowledge of english. News papers , magazines , journals , tabloids , and internet ( blogs and websites ) are the sources of expanding the skills of reading. As well as , not to be limited the ares of reading, also whatever is good for reading should be read and absorb some kind of knowledge from that. Also it is perceived as one of the invaluable skills for a person who wants to be a journalist.
Even though , nowadays computer literacy is too necessary to a journalist. At-least , he should have some knowledge and skills on Ms-office package - Ms-word , Ms-power point , Ms-excel and etc , as well as Internet and email operations that will assist him to doing journalism tasks in very effective way , indeed. Also some journalist have some outstanding knowledge and skills on information and communication technology (ICT) for running some stunning blogs as their diary and other formal and informal purposes , also making extra decent income from that kind of blogging activities by advertising - Goggle ad senses and other affiliates advertisers.
In fact , journalist is a person who should create himself as resourceful person who has the highest degree of responsibility in the society , delivering very extreme output. In such an effective and efficient way. Thus , he should expand his thoughts into be imaginative manner. Creativity mind is an another vital stuff for a journalist. Henceforth , by doing some physical and mental ways as meditation and yoga are identified as such prominent extent.
Making the comfortable environment almost good for a journalist in terms of , expanding contacts. journalist always strives to build up extremely strong bond with people in order to , absorb enormous and significant information from them. Limited contacts is not good for a person who wants to be a journalist too. Always, making better communication with the people from bottom to top level hierarchy , maybe office, universities, institutes , homes and etc are identified the contacts for getting more invaluable information.
Also , ultimately from my last point of view on this scenario which has been denoted , as well as a person who wants to be a journalist should keep on writing , also. It is too one of the most crucial skills for a journalist. Although, some sophisticated journalists are good writers but not all. Spontaneously , a person can not be a good writer but he can strives to become good writer by very good writing practices. In fact , if a person is a good reader definitely will become a good writer too . Writing skills is not something inborn ability , however , most of the prominent writers were very good readers , as well as who were not from writing family but anyhow , they achieved by their way of good writing styles. Also , I would like to claim as a good and ultimate tip to a person who wants to b a journalist should stimulate his writing pace , skills and knowledge will definitely assist him in order to overcome difficulties when takes down notes at conferences , meeting and other events which related to news or collecting information precisely for delivering clear and concise journalism task very effectively and successfully.
