Why Journalism?

Why Use Journalism? 

Local and national journalism and news magazine shows provide a window into the life of a community. That makes them a good source of information for your project.

  • Most magazine and newspapers articles and television and radio journalism are created by journalists for a general adult audience. 
  • They may be published daily or weekly, which makes them a great place to get an overview of the current issues and interests in a community or industry.
  • Look for news sources that have some analysis, rather than short news briefs.
