Journalism through my sightedness

By : Samane Jnr Marks

A detailed look at my continuous journalism experience, especially in light of the current epidemic. My initial emotion is one of hope and daring.

To list all the reasons why my journalistic background is essential, consider how I've been told in terrible and hateful terms that the profession I've chosen is a dying art.

I did make amends. I'm now flourishing since the global crisis was the sole revitalizing signal to the journalistic fire within me that the world's reliance is on the media and everyday news to link us.

As a second-year journalism-student, I am intrigued and excited about football. As an intern, I cover a lot of sports (football) news for grit sport news organizations. During my high school years, I developed a burning enthusiasm for the game's unequalled beauty.

It taught me the art of life through strength, teamwork, perseverance, goal setting and keeping fit. My outlook within the pitch varied, I presume the pitch as a safe heaven and the kit as my skin football is everything before my eyes.

I'm simply trying my hand (very amateur) at investigative journalism, and I've partnered with a fellow colleague on an investigation of 'Uber facing civil action in South Africa over rape cases', in which we engage with various e-hailing service drivers to hear their perspectives and broaden commentary on this incident.

While my experience does not speak for every victim of the current situation. I understand the significance of representing the masses and being the lone voice for the voiceless.

Which I was able to apply for while working as a kayak and Lilo guide for Untouched Adventure over the holiday season. It has played a significant influence in improving my engagement abilities as an information gatekeeper.

The motive behind this application of future news worldwide will assist and enhance my potential to improve my abilities to seek fair comment and strive to carve the niche of objectivity.

The values of the British council worldwide of believing in the potential of young people to create a better world providing reliable, valuable trustworthy and educational information is pearls of wisdom.
