Two problems about journalism

To be honest, I don't know how to start. Most of the time, I have a pessimistic view of the world, specifically about the way we relate. Nowadays, many people only work for money, and not for knowledge or the desire to bring something good to the world. I don't blame them (I include myself), the modern world demands individualism.

The area of journalism is not the exception. Personally, from a general point of view, I see two main problems in this career, I will tell you next.

First, it is impossible not to mention the concentration of the media. Probably, many of my colleagues already talked about that. It is difficult to think that the media, which is supposed to help people to be informed, are controlled for a few people.

The citizens will be informed, obviously, but with powerful owners that only watch over their own interests, probably they don't know all the truth. This is sad because, to create a better world, better relationship between us and an increase of knowledge, we should receive information without economic and political interests.

Another problem I see is that the work of the journalist is not done with a vocation. This career demands a fast pace; you must deliver your work quickly, and most of the time you do not have enough time to analyze the information.

The media compete for who is most faster. This situation means that, in first place, the journalist delivers an incomplete information, and with this, the people can't be informed well.

The priority is the people. In the future, I would like to say that as a journalist I do my job well, that I am a contribution to society. As journalists, we have to fight to give the truth to all and not to a few.
