The Pitch

Politics. It is not only a word; it is an ideology, with a massive following. Whether one would like to be part of the political world or not, they are going to be a part of it. Politics are all around us - it is a wide expanse that covers the four corners of the world. The discussions and arguments that are created are broadcasted to all of us through the various forms of journalism. It is undeniably, the one ruling component in our everyday lives.
So what do we do with politics? We use it! To our advantage. This is why democracy exists; through politics and democracy, to create a reality that we have chosen for ourselves. Those who are politically informed are smarter and make wiser choices and are not easily swayed by media influence.
Yet this blog is not going to be concentrating on just politics itself. It is going to take a narrower view and currently, it will take on tackling Swine Flu (H1N1 virus), that runs rampant in our society and yet people are still uninformed about the virus. We call it a pandemic, one that could kill millions, but could it really?
Posts henceforth will include specific details of what is going on at home and around the world about Swine Flu and various other infectious and deadly diseases. References will be from credible news outlets and sources.
In turn, articles posted here at The Journalism Projekt will critically look at issues that are clear, concise, and to the point. Following a proper report, my own opinion will follow or separate posts will be made with my opinion on certain issues.
