I have been interested
in writing from a young age. When I became older and started reading more
serious books and news stories. I found myself following articles concerning
corruption in politics, police brutality and abuse of power. I feel that
journalism is an appropriate career for me. It allows me to be involved in
issues I am passionate about. I see journalism as an important job. Without it
there would be no democracy and no accountability in the exchange of ideas on a
mass scale. Without journalism there would be watch-dog group to hold those in
power responsible.
