½ journalist The Memoirs and Confessions of "Shallow Careerist" - Faisal Fahd Al-Faryan;Hadi Hussein

½ Journalist is a non-fiction memoir and critical confession that explores the hidden realities of modern journalism through the voice of a self-described "Shallow Careerist." Drawing on the author's personal experience in Saudi journalism, the book examines how opportunism, careerism, wealth-seeking, and ethical compromise infiltrate the profession.

Blending autobiography with analytical critique, the author dissects the structures of freelance journalism, media institutions, and professional relationships, exposing how ambition and survival instincts often override integrity. The narrative alternates between personal reflection and broader commentary on journalistic ethics, power, influence, and moral ambiguity.

Rather than targeting specific individuals, the book presents the "Shallow Careerist" as a symbolic figure representing a real and recurring phenomenon within the media world. It serves as both a confession and a warning, inviting readers to reflect on professionalism, ethics, and the true cost of success in journalism.
