Here is what I would have told to a new student joining in the world of journalism “Media actors believe they are public, often confusing their own opinion with public opinion. They tell public what their opinion is! Decision makers, then, may act in response to the news story, in the believe they are responding to public opinion” Today you have a clean sheet, and you will be effective journalist if you purely report events as it is without bias  to any other specific goal that is far from the reality.

First of all, being a journalist is a story teller. If you like to tell stories, you must be a well oriented person in your surroundings and agood listener too. Our world has a lot of stories to tell and being a curious person with enthusiasm, will go a long way in journalism. A lot of reading, a lot of research is involved too.
