How to be a Great Journalist or Podcaster
1. Know your audience.
It is important to know who you are talking to when it comes to journalism or podcasting. Are you writing for a general audience, or are you aiming more specific to a certain demographic? This will help you tailor your content and approach accordingly.
2. Be prepared to be blunt.
Journalism and podcasting can be tough jobs, but that doesn’t mean that you have to sugarcoat things. If something is wrong with your story or interview, be sure to say so! This will help ensure that your audience gets the most accurate information possible.
3. Stay organized and efficient.
No one wants to listen to longwinded stories or endless tangents, so make sure that your content is easy for listeners to follow and navigate. Keep your thoughts concise and organized, and make sure that each point is made clearly. This will make your work easier and more enjoyable overall.
