Journalistic Writing And Style

Journalism has allowed me to meet a variety of individuals, some of whom are intriguing and others who are not. There are individuals that inspire me with adoration and respect, but there are other those who make me forget about the lovely sentiments I had before meeting them. There are folks I've never met again after interviews, but there are other people who have become my friends, long-term coworkers who always have a kind and supportive attitude toward one another. I think of the people I interviewed as people I'd want to meet in real life. Those that are fated will remain with me longer, maybe repeating in a subsequent interview, or be charming enough to go out for coffee and talk about business or life. Those who aren't as charming may only have passed once. The characters are like shards of life in a bright prism, loosely linked by an intangible emotional thread that is both brittle and sturdy, depending on you and me. Here, I focus on male characters, treating them as guys who have come into my life, worked and lived with me, and then left me with memories and connections. There are several varieties; some are as deep and loving as meeting a soul mate, while others are faint, fading, or merely commercial partnerships. There are other things that are difficult to identify.
