"Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world"
- Archibald MacLeish
About this Quote
This quote by Archibald MacLeish highlights the differences between journalism and poetry. Journalism is concentrated on occasions and the physical elements of the world, while poetry is interested in feelings and the emotional aspects of the world. Journalism is worried about the appearance of the world, the realities and figures, the tangible elements of the world. Poetry, on the other hand, is concerned with the feel of the world, the intangible aspects of the world, the feelings and feelings that are evoked by the world. This quote highlights the importance of both journalism and poetry in understanding the world, as they both supply different viewpoints on the exact same topic. Journalism provides a factual and unbiased view of the world, while poetry supplies a subjective and psychological view of the world.
