Journalism is one of those fields that emphasizes the saying “Live to express, not to impress”.

How does Journalism work?
Also known as news writing, this process or job involves writing or reporting a written piece of story style narrative on an event that had taken place on a regular basis. This monetary aspect is usually driven out of passion for many and the key for it is the way how one expresses the occured incident. It can be opinionated, thoughts driven or inspired as well. But as people say, a good journalist is diplomatic and does not state opinions. He or She is expected of accuracy, honesty and neutrality.

Is it fair to invest in Journalism?
Investing in Journalism is indeed a good amount of fair play and risk as returns aren’t guaranteed on a 100%, but the amount of knowledge and skills gained is of no value especially when it comes to writing. The vast amount of research teaches a lot of unexpected lessons and values to the journalists.
Why middle class women?
Beyond just letting them express themselves, journalism establishes strong gender equality when they present themselves forward. Their ability to socialize and exhibit skills improves on a vast note. Unlike the past, middle-class women would get an opportunity to break the odds and pursue a professional degree on the basis of formal education under a recognised university.
Inference
When monetary term becomes an aspect of life learning, specifically for middle-class women who are known for what they go through to be successful, journalism is indeed feasible enough so as to be pursued as an occupation.
