- Description
- This chapter answers the question: how do print journalists produce, or create, their work? Journalism is seldom thought of as a creative form of writing, primarily because it is not an 'artistic' profession and some see it as constrained by rules and conventions, or structures, giving little licence for a journalist to exercise agency. In other words, it is thought that the existence of these structures leaves little room for print journalists to make creative choice. However, by applying the systems model of creativity suggested by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi to print journalism, as this chapter does, it can be clearly seen that journalism is a creative activity in the same way as such writing genres as poetry and fiction writing.
