Yo does this make sense?

Much like a needle exchange program offers drug addicts a safer way to feed their addiction; peace journalism and development journalism offers journalist’s a proactive means to feed their audiences addiction to information, both of which seek solutions as opposed to reporting on issues in isolation. But similar again to a needle exchange program mainstream acceptance of both forms of journalism is still lacking. This essay will seek to demonstrate and understand the reasons as to why peace journalism and development journalism are not currently in the mainstream and if they will ever be able to become a part of the mainstream reporting in the news media.

A few typos/grammar issues, but the statement sounds fine.

Its the crux of my argument...

The question is to explain why neither are accepted in the mainstream, using a simile of something that follows the line of "if your going to do it anyway..." is the simplest way to explain why they are struggling with the mainstream.

When do you head off travelling man?

The longer you can take the better it will be, you should really consider south vietnam too, i prefered it to the north! Also if you don't know, vietnam is the only country to use our alphabet, cambodia, laos and i believe malaysia all have their own but in the touristy areas english will be spoken to the extent that you can get what you need.

Bah there is so much I want to tell you about the area, but I should probably stop because finding it all out for myself is part of the fun of travelling.

He's a knob but he's right


--------------

Balotelli also admitted that the intrusive and sensationalist nature of the British tabloid press has been a major problem for him settling in Manchester.

"If I buy a Fiat Uno, I read that for a guy like me it would have been more suitable to buy a Ferrari," he lamented. “If I choose the Ferrari, they write that I should keep my feet on the ground and buy an Uno.

“If I laugh, I'm not serious enough; I don’t laugh, I’m a sulk who doesn’t enjoy doing the best job in the world.

"Here in England, the tabloid press writes about everything - and always exaggerates.”

Sports journalism is a joke here.
