REFLECTIVE ESSAY ON WHY I CHOSE TO STUDY JOURNALISM AND HOW ONLINE AND DIGITAL JOURNALISM HAVE HELPED ME.

Throughout my life, I have always harbored a deep-seated dream of becoming a journalist. The allure of uncovering untold stories, giving voice to the voiceless, and making a positive impact on society has captivated my imagination since I was young. However, my journey towards pursuing this dream has not been without its challenges. During my time in junior high school, my classmates would often discourage me from studying journalism.
