I thought journalism was also about giving some informations.
I wonder what pertinent information the average reader will learn from this so
called article.
If this is journalism, then I feel entitled to write articles about anything.
Biotechnology, nuclear particles science, politics, whatever...
I guess my best articles are going to be those speaking about the subjects I
know absolutely nothing about. So the reader is not going to be bored with
technical explanations, and is going to feel at the same level as the writter.
