Journalism?
Journalism is all about searching for that juicy news, and turning it into something readers will want to see. Yes, writing is part of being a journalist, but that's just a small part of it. As a journalist, you need to interview people, take high quality pictures, research the facts, and edit your work to make it perfect.
Okay, maybe you shouldn't ask me about journalism , because I'm a beginner and all, but I'm just telling you what I know about this wonderful art. You should try to take it up Journalism as a hobby, or even an activity, if you're ever bored, and you don't know what to do!

About the Author:
Hi, my name is Sahana, and I just turned 12. I’m going to be in 7th grade at East soon. I have a pretty boring, normal life. Nothing too interesting... I play basketball, tennis, and I love to run cross country/ track. I am hopefully going to be on B or A team basketball on the school team next year, because I think I’m pretty good. I was born in Irving, and I’ve lived here my whole life, and I’ve never moved. I like listening to music… a lot. I like to listen to pop, country, indie, and basically all types of music.
When I’m not playing basketball, going to school, or listening to music, I’m probably watching Food Network, HGTV, ESPN, TLC, or Lifetime, or shopping at Bath and Body Works. I love to cook (even if I’m terrible at it), bake, decorate the stuff I make, take pictures, and travel. When I grow up, I really want to be an Interior Designer. Hopefully I’ll get enough money. -Sahana Rao
