Maybe you have decided that the hurried rhythm of news reporting isn’t for you. Maybe you find the scope of blog writing too limiting for what you want to share. Or you may have never written anything, and are looking for a type of content that would suit your style. In any case, you love the media and communications industry, and are looking for a new skill to master.
The BBC accurately states that different types of content require different journalistic skills. For instance, those who want to find breaking news need to be fast, while investigative reporting requires patience and meticulous attention to detail. By the same token, writing feature articles requires yet another set of skills.
These longer pieces of writing come in many different forms and can appeal to a wide range of interests. Additionally, they will often address an issue in greater depth than news would. This makes it an altogether fascinating art to learn, and will undoubtedly be of great benefit for your career no matter your niche.
