A-Levels for Sports Journalism?

I'm highly interested in persuing a career in sports journalism, and I'm currently finishing year 11 and having to make decisions on a-level options. Therefore what subjects would be best to take for sports journalism at a-level?

I have currently chosen these four subjects,
- History
- Physcology
- Media Studies
- Computer Science
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific Study Help forum should help get responses. :redface:

I'm going to quote in She-Ra now so she can move your thread to the right place if it's needed. :h: :yy:

Media. English Langugae should definitely be in there but I'm not sure about another 2. Definitely English Langugae though :smile:
