Journalist

A journalist investigates, writes, and reports news stories for newspapers, magazines, websites, radio, or television. Journalists gather information by interviewing people, attending events, and researching topics, and then present this information in a clear and engaging way to inform the public. The role often requires meeting tight deadlines, adapting quickly to new developments, and understanding the ethical responsibilities of accurate reporting. Journalists may specialise in areas such as sports, politics, or investigative reporting, and work can involve travel or unsociable hours depending on the news cycle.
