Journalism is a haven for writing-lovers. The feeling of typing, or once before, writing your thoughts is immensely gravitating. Writing is like an abyss. There are no boundaries to it, except for the grammatical ones, and virtually every topic is available to address.  

Throughout history, journalists have used writing to cause change in society. Muckrakers, journalists who exposed the corruption of large corporations, gave Americans knowledge about the unfair treatment by the wealthy and politicians. Journalists are reformers. They’ve addressed some of the most uncomfortable subjects, which in the past were events like controversy of slavery and women’s rights. As the world changes politically and socially, journalists continue to lead reforms and address some of the most important issues. The future of journalism is becoming even more substantial then it was in the past.

Every person, no matter the sex, religion or social class, is beginning to take their part in the journalism field. Women are obligated to share their grievances about unfair pay and society’s standards towards them. They experience the freedom that journalism gives to provide their opinions, feeling as if it could truly affect people. Poverty-stricken areas give true insight to their life by writing about their accounts. Those who identify as homosexuals or with different sexual orientations,  and people of different religion are exposing the discrimination they face every day. Journalism now applies to every human in the world. I think that the future of journalism will be satisfactory for problems in our growing population. As our society becomes more advanced and knowledgeable, it inversely shows the negativity that people face everyday. Terrorism and unfair treatment still plague our world, and journalism is a way to alleviate these ordeals, creating solutions and giving importance to them.

Not only is journalism spreading through the broad horizons of different people in the world, it’s also spreading through their technology as well. Millennials feel connected with the current news through social media websites and news apps. So much so, that young adults are taking their time to be a part of school newspapers.

I’m sure many have heard that “Journalism is a dying job,” (motivated by the fact that the use of paper is decreasing) but I think journalism is becoming more popular than it ever was. Articles published through technology are allowing readers of all ages to access news is only going to become more common with our constant technological advances.

The future of journalism contains great improvements. Through technology, availability to access, journalistic writings and the indispensable obligation to address social grievances gives a bright future to journalism. Journalism is not a dying job, in fact, it’s a job that’s is flourishing through its improvement.
