Any journalist knows the power of the press pass.

2. coffee

coffee is the choice drink for any journalist.

3. jobs

Always brag about who you have interviewed. It may get you a job later.

4. Early mornings

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F23%2F636234811847866467-639607410_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=1023&h=603d05d54194151f2c272d360906cb257599fa608f5ce2fe8952d2f7c47007e1&size=980x&c=2614802865 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F23%252F636234811847866467-639607410_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D1023%26h%3D603d05d54194151f2c272d360906cb257599fa608f5ce2fe8952d2f7c47007e1%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2614802865%22%7D" expand=1]Stories may love mornings but you certainly don't.

5. When you know something is up

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F23%2F636234815198124422-206118445_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=622&h=533a92a4b00bc64af371da521a43d4e40ec9be3a6d722d7967be73350346fb2f&size=980x&c=4075826854 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F23%252F636234815198124422-206118445_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D622%26h%3D533a92a4b00bc64af371da521a43d4e40ec9be3a6d722d7967be73350346fb2f%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4075826854%22%7D" expand=1]

You know when there is more to the story but they won't tell you.

6. Making sure you have facts

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F23%2F636234819321253043-658122436_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=810&h=f0ef7b6a5758e0ce05b0a2f7a778c0a28a7e7f7fe83ad39eda79946853ee843d&size=980x&c=932568594 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F23%252F636234819321253043-658122436_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D810%26h%3Df0ef7b6a5758e0ce05b0a2f7a778c0a28a7e7f7fe83ad39eda79946853ee843d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D932568594%22%7D" expand=1]

Journalism is facts and more facts. At least thats what it tries to be.

8. Having to do things that scare you beyond belief

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F23%2F636234821628223530199176408_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=880&h=3c90367794c8708cddeeb5a19b29b7ea1c20a672daa1104c126c180c49a4bbe0&size=980x&c=420794472 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F23%252F636234821628223530199176408_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D880%26h%3D3c90367794c8708cddeeb5a19b29b7ea1c20a672daa1104c126c180c49a4bbe0%26size%3D980x%26c%3D420794472%22%7D" expand=1]

That is a quick way to get over your fears or to convince yourself you still have them.
