A very positive point within journalism is the possibility of combining different interests, especially because there are different areas of writing, as you may have already seen in this post. An area that has been winning the hearts of art lovers is cultural journalism!

Have you ever thought about interviewing that artist you love? Cover a mega festival or go to the opening of an exhibition? These are just some of the coverage possibilities within a culture editorial/newsroom. In addition to impartially reporting on cultural events, journalists in this area have an extra touch of opinion in their texts. 

But don't worry, not every cultural journalist will write an opinion column. Here, being able to give your opinion is a little more like those conversations about a new song, you know? Talk about the arrangement, composition, etc. In cinema, it would be something like, “the cinematography of the film was the highlight”.

You must certainly remember some vehicles specializing in cultural journalism. But if not, we have great tips for those who love the world of culture and also for those who want to enter the world of journalism. 💜
