What is Psychology journalism?
Psychology Journalism is the timely reporting of events related any area of Psychology at the local, provincial, national and international levels. Reporting involves the gathering of information through interviewing and research, the results of which are turned into a fair and balanced story for publication in psychology journals.
Journalism is not just
* fact-finding
* media analysis
* opinion writing, or
* commentary
although all of those aspects can play a part at times.
What do beginning journalists do?
Journalists who are starting their careers normally do not do commentary or opinion pieces. Rather, they cover hard news stories such as community news, courts, crime and speeches by notable people. In broadcast, beginning journalists also may do pre-interviews and research for senior journalists.

Asking yourself the questions below will help you determine whether journalism is a good career choice for you.
* Do you regularly read at least one article of Psychology ?
