yes if you are imterested and have theskills.

Core journalistic skills such as content creation and managing information are prized in other sectors where communication skills are important, says Richard Sambrook. Jo Price adds, "in a world where the internet has enabled citizen journalism to flourish, there's an even greater pressure for professional journalists to remain a trusted source of information."

Journalists also need multimedia skills such as film-making, editing, radio and online skills to work in a multi-platform sector, advises Barnie Choudhury. Jonathan Baker, head of the BBC College of Journalism, says: "No-one can afford to pigeonhole themselves as a print, online, radio or TV journalist. The BBC works in three of these four and our journalists expect to work across all three.

If you want my advise,

I Say,

If you can be neutral, and if you can only Express the opinion of the newspaper in which you work, then you can consider that journalism a good career choice.

Otherwise you can not.

For me i can not,

Depends on the desire of the person and his passion in the field .. But the press is a very enjoyable task .. And every day in a new journey and a new issue and a different community. Especially as the journalist deals with issues and experiences affecting the whole society.

A lot depends on what you expect from the job.

For example, if you don't like working in an office, you love travelling and if you are creative, Journalism is a great career.

However, if you expect to make a lot of money, then it might not be a great choice unless you become really famous that news channels come after you offering employment.

This is a career for people who are very passionate about reporting news, events and travelling/meeting people

I think it is a good and effective profession in building societies if facts are provided and not lies for fame or money, because the word is a great secretariat to build or destroy societies
