How To Become A Journalist

Journalism can be a hectic work environment. There is great pressure to meet deadlines, little preparation time, and lots of stories to cover. But if you love writing and being in an exciting, fast-paced environment, you may want to become a journalist.

Journalists gather information, prepare stories, and inform the society about local, state, national, and international events. Journalists write stories on the actions of public officials, special-interest groups, celebrities, accidents, city events, political campaigns, and many other things. When covering a story, journalists investigate leads, review documents, or observe an event and interview people. Journalists take notes as well as photographs that they later organize into a story. Often journalists are assigned a specific "beat" about which to gather news. Some journalists specialize in fields such as health, politics, foreign affairs, sports, theater, the arts, business, social events, science or religion. Experienced journalists often become columnists, correspondents, announcers, or public relations specialists. Others become editors in print journalism or program managers in broadcast journalism, who supervise reporters.

To find a job as a journalist, you will typically need at least a bachelor's degree in journalism or communications. Bachelor's degree programs in journalism are available at colleges and universities throughout the country. Curriculum in these programs typically include courses in liberal arts, writing, introduction to mass media, basic reporting, history of journalism, and law and ethics. Many community and junior colleges also offer journalism courses or programs, and those credits can usually be transferred to a 4-year program.

To become a journalist, you may also want to pursue some hands-on experience in addition to your training. Employers in this field also look for journalists with some previous experience. This might include working for a campus newspaper or doing an internship with news organizations such as newspapers, magazines, and broadcast news organizations.

When beginning your career in journalism, you will most likely start at a small publication or broadcast station. You will likely be given general copy writing assignments such as writing obituaries. With more experience you will likely earn more difficult assignments and work your way up to bigger and better stories.
