Jour - day) is a member of a periodical edition who picks, remakes information quickly, writes competently and well his interesting talks. Journalists make for us news in newspapers, on TV, radio and in the Internet. Because of that there are different journalist specializations:- contributor of a periodical editions (newspapers, journals, magazines)- journalists of electronic mass-media (TV, radio, Internet)- photojournalists (sometimes photos aren`t only illustrations to an article, they can be a high-quality product).Such trade as stringer has been widely spread recently. A stringer is an independent journalist who takes ideas and topics from hot places. It helps him to get the topical news directly from the event centre often with a risk to life. Often stringer-correspondent works as a regular journalist in some provincial broadcasting company, but he tries to earn money in the capital channel.Today journalist works in a periodical edition, tomorrow he will be a TV or radio-correspondent. He often changes his specialization.
