Why is journalism going crap? Or maybe this is just how it's always been?

Yes, I finally decided to put this blog in the hobbies' section 'cause I really hoped to make a good hobby out of my journalism course...but no...all I appreciate now in article producing is merely and only column writing about which I am actually not going to study anything "because it is not JOURNALISM; it is BULLSH**" (the good thing is that no one can stop me from trying to do it here on the blank sheet).

So, for all of you who still admire the journalistic field - please be aware that you (most of my extreme-team friends) most probably hate real journalism, because you admire individuality and personal style, admire creative people with good sense for news; admire investigative journalism coming out of the most dangerous "hot-news" places where there is really something happening and you feel part of it, or maybe all you admire journalism about are the free-style articles coming out of some of the best alternative magazines in which columnists which I would afford to call journalists just write about their experiences, observations, feelings about certain topics or maybe even politically-angled articles which give all the sides of a story and possible interesting explanations accompaning them....yes, my friends I also admire this type of journalism...I admire creativity in writing, I admire playing with words and catching people's attention with what you are saying and the way you are saying it ... I admire those who are actually able to achieve such things BUT...what is actually the real "hard-core" journalism?

Hard-core journalism OR the most significant and difficult part of journalism is to fit in a certain frame, to be clear and as my journalism teacher (straight coming from the BBC newsline) says:

"Write as simple as possible but not dull, as if you are writing for 12-year intelligent children"

...and thus be objective... ... and what is more - think how on hell you can fill in the rest of your paper with something simply said and still interesting (because the paper cannot come out with 3 pages less - we have to figure out some soft news and just "serve" them to those who would get bored enough just after finishing the first soft article called

"A phenomenon in the animal world" and which is talking about a dog with 45 puppies that came out at once ...woooww that's news)
YEAH, right! but actually NO WAY You can be creative and still keep your objectivity...and at the same time be simple (but not dull) and be more biased than ever...

Newswriting has some good points, some good principles on which it was actually based, namely to be objective and to not give personal opinion on the topic which you are presenting to the people, because everyone is more or less able to figure out for himself what to think and which position to take (and for those who always wait for someone to tell them what to think - just to look for this someone somewhere else...maybe in a book which some friend of theirs recommends them!!!)...

I would like to give my opinion here in this blog (which once again shows that to be a journalist is just not my thing) but I think that I haven't really seen such a journalist (and if I think for a moment about Bulgarian newspaper - oooo I am really sure in what I am saying)

Or maybe Habermas in the end will turn out to be the wisest of all by stating that concept such as objectivity is a social equality utopia which we all would love to believe in but do not really see...

Long live sociology and the constant doubt in all we see around. Journalism and the freedom of speech have to allow people to use their freedom of forming own opinion... We all still believe in this statement...and we have to go on believing...even if we do it from the mere egoistic point of view that we and only we rule over ourselves... ENOUGH!

--> all the space in this blog will not help me put my message across and find the compromise I am so eagerly looking for!
