While being in News Writing and Reporting, we observed the jobs of reporters and freelancers. I never wanted to be a reporter or freelancer. I have learned that both occupations are very difficult. Both have to give citizens the truth, while obeying the ethics rules. What I have realized about both jobs is that people are always  critical about the work that they publish. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose to be a freelance writer. I say that because you have the freedom to write whenever you want, you also have more of a choice of what you want to write about. This could give you the option to be able to write on what may interest you. The thing that I wouldn’t like about being a reporter is that you would always be in the spotlight and your personal life would be more difficult to cover up. Both jobs require the same thing, you have to be dedicated and have a love for what you do.
