A journalist's job is to report news as it happens without coloring it with their own opinion. I have contributed some powerful pieces and written columns about eye-opening issues and it has won me not just fame but also exposure to do better. I wish to work for a publication that promotes true news and reporting. The organization must also encourage freedom of speech so that I can bring the change with my columns; that we wish to see in the society today.
