But in reality, we're all in it together in the human experience. Every person has a story to share. Every person's life will inevitably touch others. Every person has a unique contribution to make and a legacy to leave upon our world. Journalism can highlight these similarities and tie people together that may live oceans apart.
News stories can bridge the gap across individuals, families and nations.
It can remind people of what is going on in the world and how the lives of other people may affect their own. This fact is the reason I am studying journalism. I am currently a journalism major at Miami University. I enjoy my classes - it is when I am working for these classes that I don't even feel like I'm working. I especially appreciate assignments and experiments that allow me to investigate some unique aspect of humanity or engage in human interaction to put feeling behind news.
