the usual way is to get an internship with a local paper, radio or news station. perhaps you could volunteer for your local paper to get a portfolio together.

If ur still in high school, join the yearbook or newspaper staff. If not, try taking some writing classes at your local community college, so you could brush up your writing. If you're writing is good, then fill out an application and bring your resume with some pieces of writing that you have wrote. Good luck!!

Well, I am a writer and let me tell you something being a journalist is beyond cool it is powerful. You have the ability to not only express your opinions, you also have the power to reveal injustice and induce change. Positively contirbute to the betterment of the world around you. It is also an opportunity for you to grow as a person, gain knowledge of those around you. teach you discipline and study habits. It just encourages you to be more open minded, well rounded and Ignorance is simply lack of knowledge and the best way to combat ignorance is knowledge. If you are considering that as a future career and feel led to do it. GO FOR IT!!!! You will not regret it. Good Luck Yohanna Ramirez PS you have to be dedicated it is alot of work and is not for the faint of heart.

A degree is always helpful...especially in English. A command of the English language can lead to many professions...as well as giving you proper tools to always be understood. For journalism, just add a couple of writing courses to introduce you to style and concept. Also...with a vivid imagination you can become a writer or novelist.

I studied journalism in college.  I had worked for several newspapers and always loved writing and talking to people.

*****\nThe following pre-requisites are a must for entering in to the profession of journalism and to become a good journalist:\n\n- Self confidence\n- Flair for writing;\n- Good hold on English and local languages;\n- Good vocabulary;\n- Sharp Vision;\n- Creative ideas;\n- Analytical power;\n- Posession of Dashing and daring nature;\n- Readiness for immediate journey for verifying the facts about the story at the place of happening;\n- Unbiased reporting, etc.\n- Knowledge of Copy Right and other Intellectual Property Rights, etc. laws of the land on the subject (of course this can be learnt during the course on journalism);\n\nPrepare for these things first and take admission in to some reputed institute for journalism.  Read various magazines to judge the tendency of reporters, writers or editors and their style of presentation. Think, if you can present those ideas in some different and effective manner. Prepare yourself for some outstanding and quite a different style of journalism than to a routine type of jounalism in order to attract automatic attention of readers.\n\nSide by side, considering right now as a free lancer journalist, try to collect some ideal stories, prepare scoop, and send to various local newspapers and magazines to make your identity before you actualy launch your own project, so that people should know you beforehand. Of course, if you get a chance of getting some important story, don't hesitate to try your luck in having the same printed in some reputed and popular magazine than through local ones.\n\nThis way you would be quite a successful and outstanding journalist.

Go to college and get a degree in jounalism, write for the school newspaper (high school and college), get an internship at the local newspaper - maybe while still in school, then apply for some jobs when you graduate.

It's more than enough to have a bachelor's degree. I have a degree in Spanish and I'm a professional English writer. You just have to find a way to publish some of your articles and prove yourself. After that, companies will call you all the time to write for them. \n\nIf you want to be a reporting journalist, then you might want to consider a master's degree.

A journalism degree will help for starters.  Get a portfolio of work you've written already to show.  Get some interviews and let the magic happen!

I am a freelance writer from home.  But, usually you have to be qualified to get those jobs, like have a degree in English or Journalism.\nMost online "work from home" jobs are bogus.  Don't waste your time and money.

Tell him to read. Alot of journalists write books. These will give him examples of successful writing styles, and learn about the experiences that journalists deal with performing their craft. Get him in advanced English and History. English will help him with his writing skills, and history has been essentally written by journalists. Get him in the school paper or some other extra cirricular activity. Find out if your local paper or TV station has any internships for high school kids. These will give him excellent experience, an opportunity to see if journalism is really for him, and be an excellent line on his resume. But most important read. My suggestion All the President's Men by Woodward and Bernstein or type sports journalism into amazon and see what pops up. If y'all have a local paper (something published weekly or bi-monthly found outside restaurants or shops for free) see what they could do with a high schoolers prospective.

Hi\n\nI hope that you will find the following useful.  \n\nThere are two American Universities in London.  One is called Schiller University, but I don’t think that they offer Journalism as a subject.  You can read more about them at:   http://www.schillerlondon.ac.uk\n\nThe other is Richmond:  look at this:   http://www.richmond.ac.uk/content/academic-programs/communication-fine-arts.aspx\n\nNow, your subjects.   If you want to study Journalism/Public Relations in the UK, you should try to choose a course which is accredited by the appropriate body.  The Chartered Institute of Public Relations has a list of accredited courses at its website.  See:        http://www.ipr.org.uk/education/index.asp \n\nIts list includes all the contact details which you need.  The one thing which I should say about this list is that most of these institutions are not in London, I’m afraid.  The ones which are in London are offering postgraduate courses.\n\nJournalism courses in the UK are accredited by the BCTJ for broadcast journalists and the NCTJ for print journalists.  You will find lists of accredited courses for broadcast journalism at:       http://www.bjtc.org.uk/courses.htm# and those for print journalism at:   http://www.nctj.com/accreditedcentres.php\nAgain, most of these courses are out of London.\n\nWe have a website in the UK for applicants to British Universities, called UCAS.  It has a search facility at:\nhttp://www.ucas.com/search/index.html\nYou can actually restrict your search to Institutions within London if you wish.\n\nTo help you, here is quick shortlist of possibles:\nCity University      http://www.city.ac.uk/journalism/courses/index.html\nKingston University       http://fass.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/journalism/index.shtml\nLondon Metropolitan      http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/ug-prospectus-2005/courses/journalism-studies.cfm\nMiddlesex University     http://www.mdx.ac.uk/subjects/mcc/jcm/courses/joint.htm\nQueen Mary                  http://www.qmul.ac.uk/courses/courses.php?course_id=83&dept_id=12&ugcourses=1&course_level=2\nRoehampton                  http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/ug/jnm/\nThames Valley               \nhttp://courses.tvu.ac.uk/main/course1.asp?cfr=journalism&cfw=keywords&csu=0&csm=0&csl=0&cns=index.asp&cn=0&cp=20&co=CourseTitle&clo=0&caw=0&csp=combsearch.asp&cco=TEMP267\nUniversity of the Arts     http://www.arts.ac.uk/22109.htm\nUniversity of East London        http://www.uel.ac.uk/ssmcs/programmes/ba-journalism.htm\nUniversity of Greenwich           http://www.gre.ac.uk/courses/under/sch/hum/medcom_ba.html\nUniversity of Westminster   http://www.wmin.ac.uk/mad/page-449\n\nThe one question I can’t advise you about is how a British Degree is regarded in the States.    Journalism has a strong international dimension, however, and I imagine that a UK degree, especially with a Postgraduate qualification, would be more than acceptable.   One problem may be that several of the institutions listed above are new and so their names are not well known.   City University is well established however (I am a trainee lawyer there).    Why don’t you run this question by some of the companies in which you are interested, to see what they say?\n\nOne last thing: check out the British Council site for more information at:   http://www.britishcouncil.org/learning-study-in-the-uk.htm?mtklink=study-in-the-uk-corporate-homepage-link.\n\nThere are two other things which I need to mention in closing.   One is that studying in the UK for foreign students can be very expensive – course fees can be very high.   Another is that journalism and PR are VERY competitive fields.   You need to start helping out on student papers, doing Internships etc as soon as possible.  If you don’t, someone else will and they will get the job.\n\nHope it all goes well.

Get a degree in communications, public relations, or journalism. Your school should have a program set up already so you're only taking classes which count towards your degree completion. I assume that's the goal, also you may want to check out Grand Canyon University. Good luck.
