A day in a life of a working journalist

Seeing myself as a potential future journalist makes me think what my daily routine after 10 years from now would consists of. It has been a long time since I decided to pursue a career in this field so it is a little bit obvious that I consider a day in a life of a working journalist to be perfect. Let‘s say the character of this story is Amy. She is working in a fashion industry as a professional journalist and a freelance photographer. A call from this famous magazine wakes her up and she is invited to shoot one of the most popular fashion designer‘s birthday and the show that comes in honor to this famous lady. Amy jumps out of her bed and tries to keep calm in order to avoid being unprofessional. She immediately contacts the designer and asks if she’s up for a cup of coffee just to make sure she understands what the requirements are. No time for a hot bath or pancakes, Amy is rushing through the busy Oxford street trying to get to this small café where the guest of honor should be waiting. The appointment makes every detail clear and Amy is surely ready for the big day. As she is working in a magazine she makes her way right into the office to continue her article about those never endlessly trending sneakers called “Vans” in which she is comparing these to “New balance” shoes that are trying to overrule the world. Of course, Amy has some difficulties and as she likes to call it “the creativity crisis”. Since Amy is more of the girlish style her lack of knowledge about sports inspires her to conduct a quick street survey. She goes right to the street and asks strangers which ones they prefer. It made her realize that people can easily help each other sometimes without even knowing it. This is the main task of her day so as it is almost finished, she can go home. I am quite sure that a journalist doesn’t have a specific office. It can be anywhere – a bunch in the park, a comfortable couch at home or even on the sand by the sea. Moreover, I strongly believe that there are no concrete working hours and if someone calls you in the middle of the night having “burning news” a good journalist should take his laptop and start writing about it. This is what intrigues me the most – you can never be sure where you will be tomorrow. A journalist must be ready for the craziest adventures and this person has to realize the importance of standing out of your comfort zone. This is what fascinates me the most and I am sure I would make a great journalist because everything you need for a good start is passion. And I have it. I know it would be shocking at first but I am sure it gives high quality entertainment for astonishingly little cost. In fact, if the cost is only my time, ambition and hard work I am all in.
