Journalistic vs Academic

I think it is difficult to write journalistically because in news stories I want there to be a concluding paragraph. I also want to editorialize my news article, which is not good. Also, I like to use complex sentences and in journalistic writing simple sentences are preferred. In journalistic writing, it needs to be composed of simple words as well and in academic papers you are encouraged to broaden your vocabulary. It has not been that difficult to switch because I was in yearbook in high school, and I was trained to write journalistically. I attended many seminars based on this subject alone.

NAHJ

NAHJ.org is a website dedicated to the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. This website is important for all aspects of mass media because it informs members not of Hispanic culture what is going on with the Hispanic journalist of America.
The website also has many links to opportunities for Hispanic journalist as well as stories that Hispanic journalist might be interested in reading.
NAHJ.org helps Hispanic journalist find ways to break into the business. The website is a good tool to learn about upcoming events and deadlines.
NAHJ.org could apply to the whole mass media by connecting with a culture that might not want to read any other source. The news on this site applies to Hispanics and no other culture, therefore making this site a comfortable place for Hispanic journalist to visit to get the most information that pertains to them.
If there was a website that was only dedicated to eighteen year old blonde hair green eyed girls that want to be broadcast meteorologist I know I would visit it frequently. It would only be targeted at me and I would learn about opportunities that are only possible for people like me. I would be everything I would need to know and help me as well along the way. The advice would always be beneficial and the scholarship possibilities would be directly targeted at me.
My only minority is that I am a woman, and I know this is coming out of minority quickly. I hope by the time I have children that everyone is equal and there are no minorities because there is not an underrepresented group.

Writing with sensitivity

Writing with sensitivity and respect for members of other cultures should be easy because as humans we should respect and love everyone, but that usually is not the case.
Most people have preconceived notions about cultures that are not their own. These notions could be negative or positive, but in reality they should not exist at all.
If someone wants to only write for one culture or community then they should not write for the local newspaper or a big city newspaper because that paper usually goes out to many different cultured people. The people that want to write only for their culture should create or join a paper that is dedicated solely to that certain culture.
The daily local papers that go out to everyone have to be especially careful in what they print to not offend anyone. It can be a hassle that some people get offended easily, but at the same time we need to respect that maybe we do not understand what everyone goes through and try to be as considerate as possible.

Immense Text

My biggest flaw about writing correctly is that I always try to sound really intelligent. To sound intelligent you have to use big words right? Well, I am not too good at spelling, especially big words.
I feel like Joey on Friends in the episode where he is trying to come off as smarter than he actually is by using the thesaurus to change every word he uses when he speaks. Needless to say his friends told he actually sounded dumber than before.
I know that my highschool prepared me for this kind of writing because I took the initiative to be in yearbook. My yearbook advisor was the one who taught me how to write journalistic. She also entered me into UIL journalism competitions, and I actually placed once.
As a yearbook staff, we took many trips to journalism conventions. Our advisor was also a national advisor, so we were expected to always be at the conventions. During the conventions, the best journalist from around the nation would come and speak to young high school journalist like me. I would always think they were really interesting becuase I knew it was the field I wanted to enter.
