Journalist…?

Its a bit confusing, trying to identity exactly what sort of journalist i intend to be. My idea’s now, will probably change within 6 weeks, and then 6 weeks again after that.
 
Nevertheless, i have a vague idea of the direction i think i am heading in. 

 

From my immediate selection of magazines over newspapers, and large shiny pictures over small print, it appears that I am not a hardhitting journalist who covers world events, tragedy, or politics. I am instinctively drawn to a pleasing aesthetic, as I believe most people are, but while others may glance at the glamorous jaguar advertisement, before flipping on quickly to the cover story, the pretty picture tnds to hold my attention longer than the boring article on finance that follows it. Similarly, anything that vaguely holds a connection to fashion, couture and ‘high society,’will make me pause. Yet although it appears that my interest within journalism is very superficial, I do love to read.  While I do love fashion, it is definitely not the only thing I enjoy reading and writing about. As a journalism student, i am practically forced too (try) and stay abreast of current affairs, so contemporary and local news will be discussed.
