The journalism is an occupation wich talks about the daily news, but  the word journalist can also be used to talk about the different aspects of life from trivial things to existencials problems or political demands. What I like about the jorunalism is that is it varied practice. 

Be understood using the language and transmit a clear idea, without rodeos. This is Eduardo Galeano's works as an Uruguayan journalist, writer and novelist. The most famous book is “Open Veins of Latin America”, published in 1971. Tells the sad history of Larin America, with a theorical bases very good but without being a history book. In fact, Galeano not defined as an historian. He simply is a writer very critical and conscious of the evil and benefits of the world. In specific, himself has proclaimed his obsession as a writer saying, "I'm a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America above all and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia."

Galeano invites us to think, because he writes about  transcendental  concepts where you don't think much, as violence, solidarity, love, freedom, etc.
