Wat I tink makes a gd Journalist.

Attributed to the work of Bnilsen
Well the question is what makes a good Journalist?
In my opinion, a good Journalist needs to be accurate, fair and fast when broadcasting their work. Their storyline needs to be based around facts to prevent them being accused of libel. The story needs to be published within 24 hours to be relevant to that particular days news. If it were to be published a week later the article would no longer be newsworthy, as other papers would have already covered the story when it happened. I think it would be useful if a Journalist were interested in the story that they covered, as at times it would be useful to show opinion and interest on a particular subject. Importantly I think the article should show a sense of impartiality, that allows the audience to engage and form their own opinions on the chosen topic.

watch your apostrophes. Good sentiments, but ought to be possible to write a short piece with no errors. Good work though overall though.
