What should I do to maximize my chances of getting a job in journalism?
I'm super interested in becoming a journalist but everyone I talk to says its a really hard field to get hired in especially by major news organizations like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. So I was just wondering if there were any programs I could join or things I could do to further my chances into getting hired as a journalist?
Looking to get in contact with some legacy media (cable news, print news, etc.) senior officials. Any advice?
Hi! I am currently writing a paper on legacy media operations and am trying to connect with some legacy media senior officials to discuss some data, ask questions, and try to learn more about the specific industry. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting in contact with anyone. I have tried looking on LinkedIn and going directly to official websites, but, still, no luck. Any tips on how to get into contact with them?
What advice would you give to an economics & politics graduate who wants to get into journalism? ?
I have a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations, and am studying for a master's in economics. I haven't studied journalism other than 2 courses in my bachelor's though I've done some volunteer work in media. I'm a good writer and communicator and I think I have a good skill set and range of experiences that would make me a good journalist, but I'm afraid that because I don't have formal training in it, I won't be able to do it. I don't have a particular preference for online, print, radio or television journalism at this point, though I'd probably feel more comfortable with (written) online and print at first. I live in Berlin, Germany and would like to stay here for the medium-term, but would be willing to move elsewhere for journalistic work. Thank you!
