Journalism is a form of writing that tells people about things that really happened, but that they might not have known about already.
People who write journalism are called "journalists." They might work at newspapers, magazines, websites or for TV or radio stations.
The most important characteristic shared by good journalists is curiosity.
Good journalists love to read and want to find out as much as they can about the world around them.
Journalism comes in several different forms:
I. News
