Stop The Nonsense!
Sunday, April 10, 2011
Think about the headlines you've seen recently. What were they about?
The goverment almost shutting down or an update on the troops? How about any celebrities-tattoos,weddings,babies and arrests?
What I've seen is a celebrity getting a new tattoo and I don't care. In the end that nonsense doesn't matter.
I have a sorority sister who is married to someone in the navy. She was worried about what would happen if her husband didn't get paid.
That is something newsworthy. It seems there is a large group of journalists out there who report on nonsense.
How many of us can say we know what was in the agreement late Friday night?
Yet we know about the lives of people on the Real Housewives franchise, Jersey Shore or the Teen Mom series.
Does that really matter? No. Journalists have the unique position to impact people's lives and instead of doing so positively the do this stupidly.
For any journalists and aspiring journalists out there please think about what you are going to report on, you can shape what people see, make it relevant.
