Journalism, be it working for newspapers, magazines, radio or television, is a 365-day, 24-hour operation going on just about everywhere in the world. Whether you are reading this in the middle of the day or night, journalists are hard at work preparing bulletins, writing features, producing documentaries, designing pages and editing tape ready for their next deadline. Stories can be totally unpredictable and crop up when you least expect them to. You don't stop being a journalist at 5pm. It is not just a job, it's a way of life and you are always on the look-out for a new idea.
When we turn on our television sets, tune in the radio or glance at today's front pages, we see names and faces which are almost as famous as the people in their stories. Indeed, journalism is a profession surrounded by mystique and glamour. But those most visible practitioners at the very top represent only a tiny fraction of journalists. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people working in the media in an enormous range of roles. This vast realm of journalism covers not only news but also documentaries, features, photojournalism, business and commerce and entertainment information.
