Kamala Mammadova, the Editor-in-Chief of 1news.az, believes that a journalist should possess the ability to write on any topic.
During a meeting with students of the Report Media School, Mammadova shared her insights on the importance of versatility in journalism.
"Many aspiring journalists tend to shy away from political topics, perceiving them as intimidating or daunting. However, political journalism can be quite fascinating and engaging in its own right," Mammadova remarked. She emphasized that a professional journalist should be capable of writing on any subject matter.
Mammadova further highlighted the necessity of continuous learning and development in the field of journalism. "Journalists learn something new every day. They have a keen eye for spotting newsworthy stories that the average person might overlook," she explained. In an era characterized by an overwhelming influx of information, it is crucial for journalists to identify and capture the most significant and relevant pieces of news, Mammadova said.
Moreover, Mammadova stressed the importance of considering the daily agenda when publishing news articles. She noted that information should be presented in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring that it is easily understood by the entire audience.
