Okay so this is yet another venture from my usual news-based writings for this blog, but when inspiration hits, you’ve just got to run with it! Since I started my degree in journalism and new media in UL, I constantly get asked why I want to be a journalist or what I plan on doing after I finish my degree. I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t 100% know! I guess there are lots of reasons why I chose the course.
Firstly, I love the news. When I was young there was nothing else allowed on the TV at 9 O’Clock other than the news on RTÉ One. Whether it was Father Ted, Fawlty Towers or Anonymous that was on RTÉ 2 we were never gonna miss the news. In truth, I thought news boring (like any kid) and was one of six children constantly bugging my parents to change the channel. I guess I just grew a genuine interest in it! Even then. I found some news was interesting (Not always because of the impact on the country/the world, or because they were human interest, but instead were just funny)…..
