Basically, you are spying, or investigating on someone or something so you have to travel a lot, which is a very big advantage is you get to see new things, you discover new places and sometimes one news lets to the other!

3. Socialization: 

hen you become a journalist, you get projects where you have to research everything related to or near the subject and sometimes directly to the person you are making a report on. So during such researches, obviously doing research and bringing out the result is not some kids play, it requires a lot of dedication and detailing so to gather such information and other details, your socialization circle increases by itself. Because you have communicated with people to gather certain information related to the person or the subject you are researching on, which makes an advantage in your life, as you get to interact with so many people and you get to see the culture of other places, etc. that you yourself built up a social circle around you.


4. Achievement

No matter your audience is small or big, whenever you post something or speak something, there are always some people in your audience waiting for it which gives you a sense of achievement that you have achieved something against the hard work you did in your project or report. So the feeling of achievement amazes the inner you, and makes you work hard more for your profession, because to be honest, who does not like to hear something good about himself or herself, no matter what kind of nature a person has, he or she will always feel a sense of confidence as they hear something sweet about them.


5. Confidence:
