How do photography and videography as subjects impact sports journalism as a career?

Journalism is a vast subject. Does knowing a skill such as photography or videography help in getting work as a sports journalist? Should my columns and articles use only my images or public images? Are these subjects even important to the core of sports journalism or just a bonus for people more inclined to them.

How do you know which field of study you want to continue in Photography for?

I've been having trouble in finding which field of study fits me for photography, because I'm really good at landscape photography and portrait photography, but it's a little hard for me to choose just ONE field to commit to. Any tips to minimize my wide variety? Has anyone just randomly picked one and stuck with it? Is it possible to just do all of them rather than just choosing one?

How do I add a minor towards my Business Administrative major when I decide to transfer to my 4- year college?

I'm a soon to be graduating community college student and I plan to transfer to a four-year college soon. I wanted to know what steps I should take when adding a minor to my continuing business administrative degree. The career I want minor in is Photography, but I don't know what steps I should take to add that into my degree. I also would like to know what having a minor would look like in the four-year college setting. Would it mean twice the course workload for classes? Will I be able to remove the minor from my degree if it becomes an interference for my major?

How to network successfully in sports photography and sports graphics?

How do network in the field of graphic design and photography? I always feel strange and awkward trying to talk to other designers and photographers because I feel like I am interrupting them. I want to stand out to people and have them think of me for internships and job shadowing, but I am lost in how to do that. But I know the only way to succeed in that field is by creating those relationships to get my dream jobs like taking photos and making graphics for a professional sports team, but how do I do it?
