I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
