    Journalism?
    Which degree is better for journalism?

    English Literature on it's own or English Literature with Creative Writing?

    Re: Journalism?
    Either degree will give you a solid grounding in the skills that you will need to be a journalist; the thing that you will need to search for in a degree is the opportunity for work experience, which is what employers are really looking for. Creative Writing might give you an edge, but I think if you take full advantage of your English degree it shouldn't make a massive difference.
