Going into journalism.?
84260
I'm a junior in high school, so I'm afraid I can't offer you firsthand experience, but I can pass on what I've been told (I'm also a student journalist):\n\nThe most important thing is to build up a portfolio.  You said you're on your school paper, so that's a good start.  You can use you articles from that to get an internship, which would probably be a good next move. From what I've heard, they don't really care about your grades as much as your recommendations and writing samples.  If your biggest local newspaper won't take you, you can also look for smaller papers or magazines operating in the area.\n\nIn the meantime, or if an internship isn't feasible, you can also try to freelance.  Many small papers are happy to get lifestyle or even full pieces from someone young and with a different take on life.  I once also pitched an editorial I'd written to a fairly big local paper and got a good reception, so you could try that too, but it's probably more helpful to have journalistic pieces rather than opinion ones.  Still, everything you have published is something you've got going for you.\n\nI hope all of this helps a little.  Good luck!

Why do you want to study that? Everyone I know who graduated from journalism is workign at some crappy job such as working at printshop, telemarketing, waiting on a restaurant; all of them jobs they've could've gotten with a high school diploma. And it was a good college they graduated from, my college.

It's more than enough to have a bachelor's degree. I have a degree in Spanish and I'm a professional English writer. You just have to find a way to publish some of your articles and prove yourself. After that, companies will call you all the time to write for them. \n\nIf you want to be a reporting journalist, then you might want to consider a master's degree.

I would go for the University degree, but try to get a part-time job at a paper too, or maybe work freelance. A lot of degrees also offer work placements now, my flatmate at uni did a journalism/media degree, did a 2 week work placement in her final year for a local magazine, and is now working there permanently.\n\nUniversity degree will educate you in the different types of Journalism styles and give you a good grounding.

pre-qualities? \n\nhonestly, you can't be a journalist if you make up random words like that. Try a thesaurus. Grammar knowledge is very important, because editing is a lot of time. \n\nBe aware of deadlines, word counts, and natural writing abilities are required. \n\nREAD READ READ! Read everything you can, so you will be prepared for any story that gets thrown your way. \n\ngood luck!

One of your other answers suggested a university degree in Journalism, 4 years.  Excellent choice.  ANY university degree is good but you'll obviously learn very important things in Journalism courses you'll use every day in your career.  Many Community Colleges also offer Journalism courses, a possible alternative to university.\n\nYou needn't stop at one degree, and you SHOULD NOT limit your courses to Journalism.  Many journalists develop a specialty (politics, business, medicine, sports, environmental issues, etc.) and can significantly enhance their careers by taking related courses, and almost any education can be an advantage.\n\nJournalism is one of the few professions where it is POSSIBLE to succeed with minimal formal education, but degrees and other evidence of education and training will often open opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible.\n\nYou can get an early start in your career, don't wait until after graduation.  Write for your school newspaper or yearbook.  Submit unsolicited articles to community newspapers.  Contact local organizations - charities, community associations, hospitals, businesses - and offer to write short articles about their activities.  Whenever you have spare time:  make lists and notes about story ideas, and outlines and research plans for those ideas, and actually write some stories as samples of your work - a start on your portfolio.

Hi\n\nI hope that you will find the following useful.  \n\nThere are two American Universities in London.  One is called Schiller University, but I don’t think that they offer Journalism as a subject.  You can read more about them at:   http://www.schillerlondon.ac.uk\n\nThe other is Richmond:  look at this:   http://www.richmond.ac.uk/content/academic-programs/communication-fine-arts.aspx\n\nNow, your subjects.   If you want to study Journalism/Public Relations in the UK, you should try to choose a course which is accredited by the appropriate body.  The Chartered Institute of Public Relations has a list of accredited courses at its website.  See:        http://www.ipr.org.uk/education/index.asp \n\nIts list includes all the contact details which you need.  The one thing which I should say about this list is that most of these institutions are not in London, I’m afraid.  The ones which are in London are offering postgraduate courses.\n\nJournalism courses in the UK are accredited by the BCTJ for broadcast journalists and the NCTJ for print journalists.  You will find lists of accredited courses for broadcast journalism at:       http://www.bjtc.org.uk/courses.htm# and those for print journalism at:   http://www.nctj.com/accreditedcentres.php\nAgain, most of these courses are out of London.\n\nWe have a website in the UK for applicants to British Universities, called UCAS.  It has a search facility at:\nhttp://www.ucas.com/search/index.html\nYou can actually restrict your search to Institutions within London if you wish.\n\nTo help you, here is quick shortlist of possibles:\nCity University      http://www.city.ac.uk/journalism/courses/index.html\nKingston University       http://fass.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/journalism/index.shtml\nLondon Metropolitan      http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/ug-prospectus-2005/courses/journalism-studies.cfm\nMiddlesex University     http://www.mdx.ac.uk/subjects/mcc/jcm/courses/joint.htm\nQueen Mary                  http://www.qmul.ac.uk/courses/courses.php?course_id=83&dept_id=12&ugcourses=1&course_level=2\nRoehampton                  http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/ug/jnm/\nThames Valley               \nhttp://courses.tvu.ac.uk/main/course1.asp?cfr=journalism&cfw=keywords&csu=0&csm=0&csl=0&cns=index.asp&cn=0&cp=20&co=CourseTitle&clo=0&caw=0&csp=combsearch.asp&cco=TEMP267\nUniversity of the Arts     http://www.arts.ac.uk/22109.htm\nUniversity of East London        http://www.uel.ac.uk/ssmcs/programmes/ba-journalism.htm\nUniversity of Greenwich           http://www.gre.ac.uk/courses/under/sch/hum/medcom_ba.html\nUniversity of Westminster   http://www.wmin.ac.uk/mad/page-449\n\nThe one question I can’t advise you about is how a British Degree is regarded in the States.    Journalism has a strong international dimension, however, and I imagine that a UK degree, especially with a Postgraduate qualification, would be more than acceptable.   One problem may be that several of the institutions listed above are new and so their names are not well known.   City University is well established however (I am a trainee lawyer there).    Why don’t you run this question by some of the companies in which you are interested, to see what they say?\n\nOne last thing: check out the British Council site for more information at:   http://www.britishcouncil.org/learning-study-in-the-uk.htm?mtklink=study-in-the-uk-corporate-homepage-link.\n\nThere are two other things which I need to mention in closing.   One is that studying in the UK for foreign students can be very expensive – course fees can be very high.   Another is that journalism and PR are VERY competitive fields.   You need to start helping out on student papers, doing Internships etc as soon as possible.  If you don’t, someone else will and they will get the job.\n\nHope it all goes well.

I always wanted to be a sports/news anchor. Right out of high school I went away to college and took broadcasting, got my diploma and started working my dream job!

Go to a school that has a media department or TV station. I would recommend Columbia College in Chicago. While you are in school get several internships at TV stations and production houses. You will really have to network to get those positions. Most of them are free-lance.

Don't worry you'll be fine i just recently went back to college too to study journalism and i left school in 1998. Your professor's should be on hand to give you any help you feel you might need but chances are that you'll be fine all by your little self. Good luck.

Try the National Council for the Training of Journalists, they offer Distance Learning courses:\nhttp://www.nctj.com/distance.htm\n\nThe NCTJ are well-renowned within Journalism too.\n\nThere is the www.open.ac.uk but i dont think they do Journalism courses.  \n\nThe other option is search for Journalism distant learning on this site:\nhttp://www.hotcourses.co.uk/

First of all, you need to go to college and get a degree in Journalism. But try to get involved in as many things as you can. Write for school newspaper (and preferable, move up to be an editor or some other high position). Write for a local newspaper. Get an internship at a real newspaper or magazine, and make lots of contacts. But also keep being a well-rounded person: have a few hobbies that are unrelated to journalism and pursue them. Hope this helps!

If you don't want to be come an architect, you could definitely try your hand at journalism by working for a home design magazine.  You'd probably have to start locally and work your way up to more "adventurous" positions.  In order to this, you would need some experience in journalism or writing.  You might want to start writing some articles and sending them to local newspapers or magazines, or start a blog about an architectural subject.  However, I've got to say that someone who uses an express like "confused on" might not have the writing skills to pursue journalism.  You may want to go back and take some lower-level English courses at community college before pursuing this career track.\n\nThese are common jobs for people with degrees in architecture:\n\nArchitect\n-Institutional\n-Commercial\n-Residential\n-Light Industrial\n-Landscape\nBuilding Construction Investigator \nBuilding Envelope Specialist \nConsultant \nCurator\nFurniture Designer\nInterior Design Specialist\nProject Manager\nPublic Works Administrator \nReal Estate Development Specialist \nRestoration Specialist\nArchitectural Preservation\nResidential Design\nStructural Investigator\nUniversity / College Professor\nUrban Design Specialist
