E-journalism is news written for distribution on the internet. It is growing at a tremendous rate, so much so, that many papers that also publish online have resorted to online subscriptions. They do this to offset the losses they've incurred by readers choosing to read online vs. paper.\n\nA new growing component of e-journalism is blogging. Many journalists (some amateur) make their living off of reporting and posting stories on their own blog. One successful e-journalist is Andrew Sullivan, a former magazine writer and editor, who posts on his blog, andrewsullivan.com, has written books and makes regular appearances on Real Time with Bill Maher.

Here's a long (but comprehensive) report on Journalism from the  U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics  Occupational Outlook Handbook http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos088.htm\n\nSignificant Points \n\nCompetition will be keen for jobs at large metropolitan and national newspapers, broadcast stations, and magazines; most entry-level openings arise at small broadcast stations and publications. \n\nMost employers prefer individuals with a bachelor’s degree in journalism or mass communications and experience gained at school newspapers or broadcasting stations or through internships with news organizations. \n\nJobs often involve irregular hours, night and weekend work, and pressure to meet deadlines. \n\nSlower than average employment growth is expected. \n\nTraining, Other Qualifications, and Advancement\n\nMost employers prefer individuals with a bachelor’s degree in journalism or mass communications, but some hire graduates with other majors. They look for experience at school newspapers or broadcasting stations, and internships with news organizations. Large-city newspapers and stations also may prefer candidates with a degree in a subject-matter specialty such as economics, political science, or business. Some large newspapers and broadcasters may hire only experienced reporters.\n\nMore than 1,200 institutions offer programs in communications, journalism, and related programs. In 2004, 104 of these were accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. About three-fourths of the courses in a typical curriculum are in liberal arts; the remaining courses are in journalism. Examples of journalism courses are introductory mass media, basic reporting and copy editing, history of journalism, and press law and ethics. Students planning a career in broadcasting take courses in radio and television news and production. Those planning newspaper or magazine careers usually specialize in news-editorial journalism. To create stories for online media, they need to learn to use computer software to combine online story text with audio and video elements and graphics.\n\nSome schools also offer a master’s or Ph.D. degree in journalism. Some graduate programs are intended primarily as preparation for news careers, while others prepare journalism teachers, researchers and theorists, and advertising and public relations workers. A graduate degree may help those looking to advance.\n\nHigh school courses in English, journalism, and social studies provide a good foundation for college programs. Useful college liberal arts courses include English with an emphasis on writing, sociology, political science, economics, history, and psychology. Courses in computer science, business, and speech are useful as well. Fluency in a foreign language is necessary in some jobs.\n\nReporters typically need more than good word-processing skills. Computer graphics and desktop-publishing skills also are useful. Computer-assisted reporting involves the use of computers to analyze data in search of a story. This technique and the interpretation of the results require computer skills and familiarity with databases. Knowledge of news photography also is valuable for entry-level positions, which sometimes combine the responsibilities of a reporter with those of a camera operator or photographer.\n\nEmployers report that practical experience is the most important part of education and training. Upon graduation many students already have gained much practical experience through part-time or summer jobs or through internships with news organizations. Most newspapers, magazines, and broadcast news organizations offer reporting and editing internships. Work on high school and college newspapers, at broadcasting stations, or on community papers or U.S. Armed Forces publications also provides practical training. In addition, journalism scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships awarded to college journalism student

OK, when I first saw your question, I thought "journalism" and "popular" didn't fit in the same sentence. Writing is a pretty solitary pursuit, with no guarantee of fame and fortune and popularity...not even a guarantee of recognition. But yes, it's trendy today to say one is a writer and/or journalist. The real problem is that EVERYONE then thinks you know how to get published and become famous and wealthy...and they want you to help them do it, too. So, if you're still interested in writing, write. Write everything. Write crap. Write and write and write. Blog. Join a writers' group. Go to journalism school. Write some more. Keep writing, and maybe, in 25 years or so, you'll be famous and popular. Still want to do this?

Take up some hobbies.  I like to go rock-climbing and also bring my camera and take pics.  Rock climbing is a fun, active sport, and photography is cool and intellectual as well.  It kind of depends where you live if there is good climbing and scenery, but thats what I do.
