Your best bet to earn skills in journalism is to study at good liberal arts colleges. These schools require a good GPA, and a 3.5 or higher score will give you a better chance of getting into good schools.

Alayna’s Answer

It is always great to start getting experience early. Write for your high school paper if you have one. That is likely your best bet to get your work published and gain experience as a high schooler. If your town has a local paper, see if you can apply for a job or internship there! Even just working as an assistant at a local news outlet can provide valuable experience. Gaining experience and making connections is everything in journalism. You really have to advocate for yourself to find internships and job opportunities within the field. Everything is an opportunity to learn, so don't shy away from summer jobs or internships in journalism!
