ABSTRACT
Some people want to become reporters for the glamour; some want to change the world. But I’ve always thought the best reporters do the job because they’re just plain nosy. Holding up a mirror to society in order to present the truth is a laudable aim, but it is not always top priority when trying to hold together a newsdesk with limited resources and seemingly endless space to fill. The daily grind of filling pages is not always glamorous. But finding out what your community is up to because you can’t stand not knowing, and then passing that knowledge on to help others manage their daily lives that little bit better, is rewarding and can be fun.
