What characteristics make a good journalist?
Good question actually....
!. An understanding of news and current affairs, even if it's "What Katie (Holmes) Did", or didn't eat for breakfast.
@. Desire to scoop out a story - like a modern day Sherlock, and letting the story lead you wherever it bloody well wants to - like the back of a girl's bathroom door in Kings Cross for example.
#. A long term interest in journalism, because honestly, if you've only liked it for two weeks, chances are you're going to hate it two weeks later.
$. The ability to withstand a lot of shit. It's not all fun, right? So if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!
%. Writing skills. Who wants a 'dumb arse' working for them?
