A journalist...
How would you define a journalist?
Who is the journalist, what does s/he do?
What is his/her function?
Is journalist a person arguing ideas in every field, knowing everything?
No. How can a journalist know everything?
Let me make a definition from my point of view:
- Journalist is a person who reaches the news and information source in shortest time possible and who presents this news and information s/he gathered to the readers.
In order to achieve this mission, the journalist must write articles based on news, events, concepts, documents and information, which requires the journalist to be a reliable person. The journalist has to keep secrets, s/he should know how to keep the sources of news and information confidential, and should dare to dispute with the governments and powers when necessary.
