I haven’t used “hegemonic” since university, and anyone who continues to do so long after they’ve supposed to have grown up, is a wanker.

I loved to be a journalist , because it works with tranperency only, it help to uncover the things hidden in the dark corner of the world. although the work is risky it can not prevent me from become a journalist in my area.long to live to all those who are journalists in various departments.journalism is the reduce and improves on the discipline of the world political games and their so called ping pong games. thanks, from uganda.

Thanks Andy – as to not having an opinion, see the comment thread for more on that. I wouldn’t suggest it as a hard and fast rule – perhaps a better phrasing would be to avoid having an opinion which is ill informed. Do your research.

I’n not a journalism student, nor is that my aim-however, I feel every area that was mentioned is crucial to a well rounded student. I came upon this blog for advice on how to start blogging and though this is not the intent it has been truly helpful. I do not know what my main interest for blogging will be yet, but more so than ever was it great advice to ‘not’ have an opinion. If you have any advice for me please let me know, i need to start somewhere, then i feel I will be halfway there!

I think these are some very helpful tips. Number 2 is a very important one. No matter how strongly you feel about a topic it’s important to make sure that you don’t include any bias in your reporting. This can damage your reputation and make you less credible. Only report the facts. I’ve struggled with this at times when I’ve covered stories dealing with a topic that I’m completely opposed to. But I suck it up and make sure that the story gets out without any biases in it — that’s what a good journalist needs to learn to do.

Hi,
I’m a french journalist student, and I’m now studying in Canada. I’d like to insist on the importance of reading books. I cannot agree with the statement “What’s in those books can be found online, on the radio or on TV.”. No, no, no.
I come from a school where I study a lot of subjects, such as law, economy, politics, history, social sciences … And I think THIS is the best material to become a journalist. How can you write about the Iraqi war without knowing the subject ? And to know a subject perfectly, we have to read books, newspapers and on-line website are not enough. Because a book is written by a specialist, by a person who spent a lot of time doing research. And as journalist, we have to be informed about every kind of subjects, and how can we do that ?
By reading books.
PS : i’m sorry if I did mistakes, english is not my mother tongue
