My interest in journalism first sparked when I attended a lecture about fake news a few years ago. During the presentation, the speaker cited a research paper that revealed social media as the most commonly used source for news. Then, the lecturer showed how most of the news from social media was fake. I laughed along with the crowd after looking at those statistics, but deep down I knew I should not have because I was also guilty of using social media as my main source for news. The statistics told me that I was not the only one. I knew I needed to change, so I started by reading news from more credible sources. Furthermore, I knew I wanted to be a reliable source and therefore joined the high school newspaper club. I may not have been a skillful writer, yet I had an interest in being up to date on global issues and sharing the news with others at the newspaper club. I intend to participate in a wide variety of activities in college. Along with other activities, I wish to continue being a reliable news source for relevant news at college.
I would like to accomplish two goals as a reporter for The Postech Times. First, I would like to inform the readers of important news accurately. I joined The Postech Times because I wanted to share news as a trustworthy source. Next, I would like to cover topics from other cultures that are different but have significance to us and our cultures. This will require thorough research, but I personally enjoy learning about global issues, and I hope that the readers of The Postech Times will also experience the joy of broadening their knowledge about other people and cultures around the globe.
Given the varying levels in reading skills of our audience, I will try to write articles that are interesting and understandable. I look forward to working as a reporter for The Postech Times and I will, to the best of my ability, write accurate, relatable, and readable articles for all readers.
