Media Mogul

Ryan Seacrest inspires me to be an unpredictable journalist. He is an excellent radio host. Seacrest inspires me do pursue a career in broadcast journalism.

The Media Mogul That Inspires Me

The media mogul that inspires me the most is the radio personality Howard Stern. He is probably the most controversial radio talk show host today because of the lack of regulation over what he can and cannot say. However, I respect what he says sometimes seeing that he tells the truth no matter what the consequences he may have to endure. He talks about topics that people all over the country have on their mind, but are too afraid to speak up about. He is also extremely funny and insightful, which is why he is the unofficial "King of Media". Overall, the fact that Howard Stern speaks the truth about a variety of topics makes him a very influential person in the media culture.

Journalism Quote

"There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil.
                            
                                           -Walter Lippmann

i feel that, this is a great quote. In the journalism industry, there are so many journalists, who lie to get a good story.

My inspirational quote

“Journalism is literature in a hurry.”  
-Matthew Arnold


Journalism is a bunch of literature thrown together rapidly and turned into a story. I love this quote because this is what i love about journalism. Its so fast paced and is extremely exciting. When I am broadcasting i get really excited about the story and the setup. Everything about journalism gets me excited.

Journalism Quote

"I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.
Marguerite Duras" 

 This quote was inspirational to me because I fully agree that without passion, journalism would be nothing but bland, dull facts on paper. The success of journalism comes from a good writer who is passionate about their work and loves what they do. It is evident when someone is working in a job they don't enjoy because the product has no part of themselves in it; the most successful writer is one who does what it takes and devotes their time and emotions into making their piece as good as it can be. Journalism takes a story and turns it into a published work of art.

Day 1: Inspirational Quotes

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Casey Kasem

This quotes means don't give up on your goals. Sometimes when we reach for the stars, we fall flat on our bottoms. But, if we don’t keep reaching, we’ll never know how it feels to accomplish that goal. So you should get up and try again, because eventually you will accomplish your goal, which is among the stars.

“If you can have faith in your real self, you'll suffer less. Be bold about who you really are.” ― Ann Curry

They say you find yourself in high school. This is obviously only true once you have lost yourself a few times first. For the most part, I agree with the previous statement. High school is a journey of triumphs, trials, and just a few straight out freaky experiences. High school allows you to make lifelong friendships or possibly find the one you “love”.  High school can make you, break you, and put you back together. However, I have learned that no matter who you are, where you are, or what you come from, there will always be doubts lurking in the back, or front, of your mind. I have learned that becoming the person you want to be does not happen overnight, but rather takes a lifetime to accomplish. Ann Curry from the Today Show once said, “If you can have faith in your real self, you'll suffer less. Be bold about who you really are.” Sometimes, we are often afraid to show our “real self” because we question whether or not that self will be accepted. Acceptance is what humans crave. So being the outcast can become our greatest fear. To worry so much about what we are not encourages us to forget all that we are. Today, I choose to have faith in my real self and be bold about who I really am.
