Writer

What do Writers do?

A Writer, or Journalist, seeks out news and brings it to the public as quickly as possible. This position aims to present stories in a clear, engaging style. A journalist may: attend press launches, courts, council meetings and other events, interview people by phone or in person, respond to tip-offs, calls and news releases, record notes in shorthand or on tape and write stories up on computer.

Besides the pressures of working to deadline and getting stories out ahead of the competition, journalists must keep their stories balanced, fair and lawful.

Long and unpredictable hours are common in journalism. Journalists generally work 39 hours a week, but they may work shifts including early starts, nights and some weekends. They have to travel to where the news is, and may sometimes work outdoors.
