Emily’s Answer

Hi Jessica! Many students have the opportunity to start taking journalism classes in high school. My first journalism class was photojournalism (yearbook) in 10th grade. I stuck with it throughout college by writing for my college newspaper and yearbook, and I even got an internship at a medium-sized newspaper in my hometown. That experience really helped me explore my interest in journalism because I got to try many different things outside learning about journalism in the classroom to be sure this was a field that I was passionate about. There are also lots of great websites online to keep track of all your writing samples. I like to use contently.com. That way, when you go to apply for a real job, you can send your potential employer a link to your portfolio that has all your writing samples in one place. Good luck!
