why I chose not to pursue a career in journalism? 🙄 After much contemplation, I wanted to share why I chose not to pursue a career in journalism, despite my initial passion for storytelling and uncovering truths. Here are some of the pivotal reasons: Endless Ambiguity: Journalism often felt like a maze without an exit. While the pursuit of truth is noble, the landscape seemed to lack conclusive points, leaving me questioning if the path I was on was truly leading anywhere. Erosion of Ethics: The erosion of ethical standards in journalism deeply troubled me. It became apparent that ideologies and financial interests often overshadowed the fundamental principles of truth and integrity, leaving me disheartened by the state of the industry. Disparity in Compensation: Witnessing the stark contrast between underpaid young journalists and overcompensated veterans was disconcerting. While experience merits recognition, the notion that fair compensation only arrives after a certain age seems unjust and unsustainable. Ethical Void: The absence of robust ethical guidelines and enforcement mechanisms further fueled my disillusionment. Without a solid ethical foundation, journalism risks becoming a platform for sensationalism rather than a beacon of truth. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and perspectives on these issues. Let's engage in a constructive dialogue about the future of journalism and how we can work together to uphold its integrity and relevance in today's world. Please feel free to share your insights in the comments below. 🏁💭
