Most journalists these days spend a lot more time aggregating content than actually creating it from scratch. You can simply share someone else’s article, video, tweet, etc. Or you can re-write it and turn it into your own news. Reading other people’s news also helps give you ideas that you can build on, then go out and shoot your own story. Either way, staying on top of news is a must if you want to succeed in a mass communication job like broadcast news, web, social, media marketing and promotions.
