What your breakfast cereal says about your reporting skills
June 15, 2017
Whether you prefer sugary and sweet, bunches of crunch or protein-packed, your favorite breakfast cereal may actually say a lot about your reporting skills.
Special K Chocolatey Delight – Editor
You are constantly busy, stressed and detail obsessed…but that’s not a bad thing. You pre-write, edit, proofread and rewrite more times than Jim pranks Dwight on “The Office.” Being an editor is serious business, and no one knows serious like you.
Fruit Loops – Entertainment Columnist
You are spunky and colorful when it comes to writing and have the makings of a great entertainment columnist. You aren’t afraid to see a movie you’ve never heard about because you know your review will turn heads either way. Your writing flows well as you sprinkle in the right amount of humor and insight.
Cheerios – News Reporter
You stay true to what you know. As a news reporter, hunting down the facts and evidence is second nature as you are in constant pursuit of the truth. You are traditional and low-maintenance but have a strong passion for the truth.
Fruity Pebbles – Blogger
With a naturally talkative, colorful and humorous personality, you’re a blogger. You have unique opinions and stick to them no matter who is in your way. You are obsessed with DIYs, recipes, colorful planners and anything else that catches your eye on Pinterest.
Frosted Flakes – Sports Reporter
Being a sports reporter is no laughing matter; although, you probably crank out a few chuckles with your Tony the Tiger impressions. You’re a prankster, the jester of the newsroom, yet you understand the importance of a balance between humor and hard work.
Cocoa Puffs – Perspective Columnist
Perspective is a difficult, yet rewarding section to write for, as you have to find the perfect balance between facts and opinion. You indulge your opinion sweet tooth while never loosing your practicality.
