Currently, I am here in my dear university, computer lab to be exact, attending this workshop. I met up with my blockmate, ace, because we don't have any friends here. We are supposed to be seatmates in this lab but unluckily, the friggin ninnernutz got messed up on the first computer I sat down at. And now, some girl fixed the ninnernuts and now she's beside ace. Why am I so lame? So yeah, our proctor, as of what I call her, tells us to write about a world without Journalism. I really don't know if I love writing. I love reading but they say that writing comes along with it. They don't go one way and that they are always hand in hand.
Anyway, it's out of the topic. For now, I shall discuss, or maybe blab about something of a world without journalism.
They say that journalism is about writing, editing, televising everything through the radio or television or the ninnernutz but it's beyond that. It's about putting your thoughts into words. It's about creativity of expression even if it sometimes lame, uncool, and not interesting. It's you know, pinching up those creative juices even if you're not creative enough.
One thought to ponder about me is that I love reading. Okay, it's a deep word, Love. I don't look at it as a past time but it's a hobby. I love reading stories from fiction to romance to novels to adventure, name it, but I think my mind is not that broad or enhanced to write such stories like that. I just like to marvel and let the words be sceneries on my mind. Now you think that this is totally out of the topic now but you know, books are a form of writing. And writing equates to journalism. Written words are powerful like how our national hero said it “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Written words have this some sort of magic that dominates your mind and like, you're out of this world for a second then come back the next second.
Imagine a world without books, or any kind of reading material. Wouldn't that be boring? Even the ninnernutz is a form of journalism. Where the hell will we get answers for our homework? Research paper? Course requirements? How to cook? And on what to do if heartbroken? Joking. But seriously, the world is indeed a better place with all these journalism thingies. One way to recognize writing is reading. Reading literally educates us. Plus, it broadens are imagination.
So uh, heard about the earthquake in Japan and the tsunami afterwards that killed gajillion people? So if you didn't, you basically don't have a life. Or if you did, that's because of this so-called news which is a form of journalism. With the news, we are aware of what's happening inside and outside of our country and sometimes, out of the world. It helps us to be updated about the latest events that occur in the past 24 hours or so. It gives us relevant or irrelevant information. Irrelevant means the entertainment news that tackles about the life of the rich and the famous. So yeah, to conclude, journalism is everything under the sun.
And uh, if you're a geek for magazines, you should also thank journalism because they produce that stuff. Well, the publishing inc. does or the writer does but really, it's their skill that gets the job done. Without magazines, how are we going to know the latest trends? Lookbook, ofcourse but sometimes, it's nicer to do things in a more traditional way. And also, magazines are also the only, I think, legal way of pornification. Lol. Playboy, FHM and the like. ‘cause the ninnernut porn is illegal.
Personally, I think journalism is for the people who are good and not good with actual words. It's an infinite source of ideas that produces well, jobs, emotions, the magazine you're reading, the news on TV and the like. It can be revolution for the people in Libya. It can be the letter of a lover to his beloved. It can be a journalist's entry for a press. It can be the words of a songwriter that freely writes what he/she has in mind. It can be a gossip which is is true or not. It is freedom of emotions and ideas that are wanted to be shared. It can be your facebook status or you blog in Tumblr. And it can be compared to the universe, unending and forever evolving.
