Journalism and creative writing

Both journalism and literary writing demand precise observation and clear language, but journalism serves facts while creative writing serves emotional or psychological truth—the distinction lies not in prose quality but in allegiance to external reality versus internal landscape. Learning to move between these modes sharpens the writer's ability to distinguish between what happened and what it meant.
