Journalism 101: Why Kate Henshaw’s Lifestyle Will Always Make Headlines In Celebrity News Coverage, by Isaac Asabor

If there is any profession that is multifaceted, it is unarguably Journalism as it extends beyond common misconceptions. While some people believe journalists primarily focus on investigative work and criticism, their role is much broader. Against the foregoing backdrop, it is expedient to contextually shed light on this.

In fact, Journalists indeed investigate and report on critical issues, but their responsibilities encompass more than that. They research, gather evidence, and verify information to create accurate news stories. Whether it is uncovering corruption, exposing scandals, or analyzing complex topics, journalists play a crucial role in keeping the public informed. Their work often involves interviewing sources, fact-checking, and adhering to ethical standards.

Beyond criticism, journalists also highlight positive aspects of society. They celebrate achievements, share inspiring stories, and report on the good deeds of individuals. For instance, they cover celebrities whose lives can influence young people. By showcasing positive role models, journalists contribute to shaping public opinion and inspiring positive change. So, next time you think of journalism, remember that it is not just about critique alone, it is also about informing, celebrating, and fostering understanding.

So, whether it is about who wins the Bet Awards in the categories that cut across music, film, sports, and philanthropy or who specifically wins the best gospel/inspirational artiste, the best new artiste and best African act, or best male hip hop artiste and best male R&B/POP artiste, audiences want to know what is going on in celebrities’ lives.

In a similar vein, fans of most thespians in the Nollywood industry want to know which celebrities won in certain categories in the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) by each passing year, even as they also want to know which of the celebrities win in different categories of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA);another prestigious award that honors excellence in African film and television. Besides the winning of awards, celebrities are absolutely role models and positive influencers in the public eye as they can inspire others to strive for greatness.

Given the foregoing backdrop, there is no denying the fact that there are various reasons why promoting such celebrities is essential.  This is as when journalists highlight the lives of upstanding celebrities, they provide inspiration to their fans. Thus, people can learn from their experiences, values, and work ethic.

In a similar vein, celebrities who use their platform for social good deserve recognition. Whether it is advocating for a cause, supporting charities, or promoting positive change, their actions can have a ripple effect.

Also in a similar vein, when we see someone we admire making healthy choices, it encourages us to do the same. Whether it is adopting a fitness routine, practicing kindness, or pursuing education, positive role models set an example.

Not only that, reporting on celebrities who excel in their fields, be it acting, sports, music, or philanthropy, celebrates human achievement. It fosters a culture of celebrating hard work and dedication.

Without a doubt, journalists play a crucial role in shaping public perception. By spotlighting admirable celebrities, they contribute to a more positive and aspirational media landscape.

Explanatorily put, explicitly for youths who aspire to become society reporters as Journalists, this type of news, known as Celebrity News, is a hugely popular form of journalism that focuses on famous people such as pop-stars, soap opera stars and members of the royal family, and again, it would be beneficial for them to see this piece as Journalism 101.
