An Introduction to This Blog

A daily newspaper has accepted my application for an internship. I found it odd at how quick they were to take me on. I spoke to [editors name] who said that no one had applied for an internship in roughly four months. There was one student who took an internship position with them and showed up for two days never to be seen again.

I heard a rumor recently that the [newspaper] might be going out of business. I did a fact check on this and could not find anything to back up this fact. If anyone has any sources for this rumor it would be greatly appreciated.

This brings me to my next subject: blogs. Blogs seem to be the dominating force in where people seek out their news. I think that this is odd seeing as these blogs are not credible news sources for the most part. A fact that isn't backed up with two or more sources should be taken as a rumor - not fact.

I would like to make for myself a profession in journalism. It's more than a profession to me - it's finding the truth and spreading it. Truth is a powerful thing, and ideally, more truth will grow from the seeds of truth that we plant. We live in the age of information - practically anything is right at our fingertips. Unfortunately, this also promotes much misinformation. Misinformation is a dangerous thing. It is my goal for this blog, and for my future, to promote the truth exclusively with anything that I write. If you are reading this and find any hypocrisy or misinformation within my words, I would appreciate any criticism or feedback relating to this issue.

May the truth be with us all.
