Hey, how's it going?
Great! What do you do for work? I'm a journalist. I produce and distribute reports on real world events, facts, ideas, etc.
Really? That's cool.  I actually studied journalism in college, but ended up working in a completely different field.What do you like about your job?
I love that I get to express myself on the internet. Other journalists use print, tv, radio, etc.
Ah, so you online work online? Do you write your own stories or just edit someone else's? We usually did a combination when I interned...
I work online and write everything on my own. I have done a bit of editing, but not much. It helps that freedom of press is protected by the first amendment or I'd be in a lot of trouble.
Do you work for one company, or do you freelance? How do you feel about "sources" like Buzzfeed, which are usually just info-tainment?
I work for a specific company, though I do talk through social media politically, which is the best thing about free-shared information. People can participate in politics much easier. Buzzfeed is ridiculous in my opinion.
Journalism
Have you heard about peace journalism? I do a lot of that. It is exactly what it sounds like.
Makes sense. I miss the obvious neutrality that we were taught when I studied. People dont even try to hide biases in news now...
