What journalism teaches us?

Journalism is about observing, knowing people also their perspectives & putting it in front of the world. Till now as we are in 2nd year, we have learnt a lot of things just because of the initiative of filed visits by the university. 

As a girl who wants to become a News Anchor, I have came to the university with my dream. I don’t know whether it’s going to take me to the place where i want to go but as we grew up in the atmosphere, I got to know about many things.How is it important to learn beyond books & how far we can go from the marks we got. Life teaches us many lessons and i believe the experiences gives you the best lessons of your life. As my 1st semester ended and 2nd semester begun we were told about the field visits idea, it was very exciting moment for us. Everyone was ready for this because we have left our homes and came here to fulfill our dreams. We went to The Tribune Chandigarh, Daily Post Mohali in our first visit. It was our first time to go inside any media houses and watching anchors live. It seems that I was living my dream and I got very inspired by this visit. The head of the media house was very humble, kind & inspired us alot about the fied we have chosen. How we can reach to the place where we want to. Further we went to many field visits like Harike Patan wetland, Radio Mirchi Jalandhar, District Court Jalandhar, a nearby ashram etc. I Believe as a journalist we have to be more brilliant and observant than an IAS officer. Our field includes everything that’s why we were sent to different places. Why we were sent to the wetland? So that we can come to know about our nature how is it preserved and till when it will be prevented?? Many questions raised in our minds and we asked the people of NGO there. As we are adults now we have to now face the world so we have to get answers of our questions. When we went to radio mirchi station we were filled with curiosity & lots of joy because since childhood we have only listened radio and has never seen the work station. So, for us it was one of the best filed visit. All the persons working there were very kind and very friendly to us, they calmly told us about each and every thing of the working of a radio station. It was a great time with them all. Then Ashram has gave us many life lessons, we think our lives are difficult and filled with problems but when we meet blind people including chidren and old people we were shocked to know about their stories. Everyone has their own stories  & their own struggle. As a journalist we should be aware of the dark truth of our life which is struggle and obstacles in our lives. Like this many more visits has teached us many lessons which we can’t get from just studying books and by bounding ourselves. I am sure one day by fighting with all my problems and struggles, i will surely achieve my goal.🤗
