Why Reading Fiction Is Good For Your Media Career



Doesn’t matter whether you’re in PR, marketing, or journalism, if you write, it’s important to read fiction, not just business books.

According to PR/Marketing blog Spinsucks, there are a couple good reasons why:
.Reading stories can fine-tune your social skills by helping you better understand other human beings.
.Entering imagined worlds builds empathy and improves your ability to take another person’s point of view.
.A love affair with narrative may gradually alter your personality—in some cases, making you more open to new experiences and more socially aware.
