Do you have a passion for writing and getting to the heart of things? Are you interested in telling intriguing stories and getting the truth out there? Then read on, as a career in journalism might be for you.
A
degree in journalism will lay the foundation for many different career
paths. Besides working as a journalist, you'll have the possibility to
work in editing, publishing, public relations, copyediting, as an
author, and in many other fields besides. There really is a lot of
variety within the journalistic field, fitting to each type of
personality and temperament.
Although there are those that have managed without one, a Bachelor's degree will vastly improve your chances of finding work, as journalism is a highly competitive career path and requires more than just walking around with a pen and writing pad. If you're aiming to climb the ladder to reach a managerial position, or have plans to teach, pursuing postgraduate studies are something you should keep in mind as well.
Journalism is a hugely varied field, and you'll likely find something that suits you and your interests. From warzones to quiet offices, whether on-camera or behind the scenes, there's a niche for all types of skills. The most valued requirement for all of these is to have a passion for writing; a passion to tell a story.
Also know that in order to improve, you'll have to be able to take criticism. This is how any writer grows. Take the lessons out of the criticism and make the best of it - but remember to keep true to yourself. People that write about things they are passionate about are the ones that make it.
