Something that has always drew me to the characters in the comics is the role that Journalism plays.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Reporter Clark Kent has worked at The Daily Planet Newspaper in Metropolis since his character was introduced in 1938.<\/strong><\/em>

As a journalism major, I have fell in love with the whole world that has been created for these characters.<\/p>\n

Some of my personal favorites include Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Peter Parker.<\/p>\n

With this common trope, I have wondered what is the role of journalists and why many characters have chose to pursue it.<\/p>\n

In many, you always see the photographer going and taking photos of the event.<\/p>\n

There’s the common journalist who uses their profession as a disguise to help them get closer to the action.<\/p>\n

Some characters like Clark Kent and Peter Parker use being a journalist to their advantage because they can get intel on the villains they have to defeat.<\/p>\n

Showing the characters as journalists also helps fans understand the world of Journalism as a whole.<\/p>\n

They see characters like Lois Lane always hunting down what the next story could possibly be.<\/p>\n

These characters aren’t afraid to tell the truth and would do anything to make sure it’s out there.<\/p>\n

These are also great examples to show just how “heroic” journalists are without the cape and tights.<\/p>\n

Lois Lane is one of the best journalist who embodies the term “heroic.”<\/p>\n

She is one of the most famous and powerful journalists who works at The Daily Planet in Metropolis alongside Clark Kent.<\/p>\n

In efforts to uncover the truth, it may have taken Lane to some dangerous lengths.<\/p>\n

Having superheroes like Spider-Man and Superman work as journalists as their day jobs also gives them as sense of normalcy.<\/p>\n

Fans are able to relate to the “super” type of characters by seeing them have a typical 9-5 job.<\/p>\n

But along with the journalists who use\u00a0 their job for good, the comics also showcase journalists who use it towards their own advantage.<\/p>\n

One of these journalists is J. Jonah Jameson from the Spider-Man comics.<\/p>\n

After the emergence of Spider-Man in New York City, Jameson became obsessed with finding out who the kid behind the mask was.<\/p>\n

He took his power as Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Bugle and vowed that he would expose the masked web-swinger.<\/p>\n

Jameson’s character (from both the comics and movies) are known to have a strong hatred for Spider-Man.<\/p>\n

This leads to dilemma for Peter Parker because as he works alongside Jameson, taking pictures for Spider-Man, as he has to help him write those stories.<\/p>\n

That is probably one of the most important reasons that Journalists play such an important role in the comics.<\/p>\n

The stories don’t just highlight and showcase all the good sides of being a journalist. They also show some of the negative sides that can happen when this strive for truth is handled wrong.<\/p>\n

As an up and coming journalist myself, I look too many of these characters for inspiration.<\/p>\n

I hope one day I can be just as “heroic” as Lane, Kent and Parker and write stories to inspire the world.<\/p>\n
