Commitment to Journalism

Journalism will be a part of our society for many years to come; however, the only role I am willing to commit to keeping it alive will be to read. Steve Damish talked about the excitement and pressure that being a journalist entails and although this sounds like fun, it is not the life I want to pursue. Newspapers are slowly, but progressively going out of style, but I will continue to buy and read them to keep them around. My commitment to the field of journalism will not require me to be a journalist, but to be part of their audience. I never planned on being a journalist, but after his talk, I have more respect for them. After listening to him speak, he also made me realize that this is definitely not the job for me.
