One notorious imperilment on media

| Monday, August 9, 2010 | |
          I was a typical 6th grader when I first took a glance on journalism. Subconsciously, I have regarded the latter as another way of simply writing what one wants to write. Believe me, I've distinguished journalism first-hand as part of the you-write-a-thing-to-feed-boredom category. On one hand, it practically means you write just for plain entertainment and nothing else goes beyond.

        Throughout those years, I've taken only a modicum of comprehension towards what journalism really has to say. Little has it but I have managed to know more about it in a gradual process. The awareness indeed is not achieved through an overnight basis but rather in a longer term. Furthermore, never have I been so literally shocked about its ulterior side. My mouth gaped open when I've discovered few of the inevitable risks in the profession. The very word that struck my alter-ego to its highest peak was the word “death.” I could terribly imagine how this word effuses its way in and traverses with the profession. Though it felt like I was caught in the middle of a catastrophe, it was also as if I have some feeble reasons as to continue feeling a partial of indifference against the risk. But inevitably, I could hear the clamor of fear and the tumults of hesitation. From the pit of my stomach down to the soles of my feet, I've barely mulled over to the idea of a ‘journalist’ and ended up in complete utter; to be or not to be: that is the question. Right at this juncture, I shall hide no lies and assert that there's still an iota of uncertainty towards going for the profession.

        On one way or another, I find yearning towards becoming a journalist, if a parcel of good fate is at hand. It's perplexing, is it not? My standpoint is extremely dilapidated due to the juxtaposition whether to pursue my career in the media or not. I may be a tattered novice and knows nothing of the standards on good journalism but gibberish thoughts instead, I somehow greed in finding enough faith towards exploiting my calling in the line of journalism. Inexplicably, I do hope that there will come one day where I could finally venture out that my career is fervently auctioned for journalism.
