Creativity in journalism

As make-up makes a woman look beautiful, so does creativity to journalism. They have been doing journalism with traditional methodology for a long in Nepal. Lack of creativity and biased writing has been the main reason of attack on journalism from time to time. It may be the cause of ignorance towards creativity in writing. Journalism is incomplete without creativity. It is needed almost everywhere in journalism so as to make the arts of a journalist remarkable. Doing journalism is not only for making people aware of what is going on all around but also for the progress and positive changes with positive awareness in the minds of people making the societies worth living peacefully. It also influences the career advancement of every individual journalist. The creativity in journalism shows how matured a person and his/ her arts are. It opens many doors of opportunities for a journalist. Today there are many who do journalism but only a few do it creatively. Creativity implies the arts of making something beautiful, attractive and impressive in an extra ordinary way. I think creativity is important in journalism because it develops the arts of doing the same thing but quite systematically, effectively and extra-ordinarily. It's also important for career development of a journalist. It helps us generate some new ideas about the ignored story around us to which people generally turn a blind eye, and use them in a different manner which is interesting and unusual. It's also important because journalism is a very sensitive profession. A tiny mistake; and the career of a journalist is gone. Therefore, a journalist must be creative.
