Journalistic Intentions  (18+) This is for the journal keeping types that come to PLAY! New round starts July 1! #2213121 by Elisa: Snowman Stik

Long gone are the days when young boys used to stand on street corners shouting, “ Read all about it!” The headlines would be printed on a board next to him in large print just to emphasise the Earth-shattering news event of the day. It was exciting and colourful.

That was then. Now we have news, morning, noon and night from all over the world, not just locally anymore.
It’s tedious and sometimes frightening as it makes the world appear to be a threatening place. It gives the impression we’re all unsafe, everyone is out to scam us, kill us, or rob us.

Women’s magazines are the worst for their outrageous headlines. They are untrue, made up, manufactured from, at best, a sliver of truth.
Photographs of celebrities are deliberately photoshopped either to make them appear, sad, bad or angry. Or the reverse, more beautiful than they really are or could possibly be.

This is all for a story. Whether it is true is immaterial, the story is the most important. Whoever may be hurt or scandalised doesn’t matter so long as people are sucked in enough to buy the magazine.
The story is everything.
