Journalism Society

Oh hi . I'm seriously considering becoming a journalist. So funny how I was thinking of starting a thread on this topic, when I stumbled across this one . I will join, and watch this thread intead for now . Thanks for making this group

No worries What made you interested in journalism?

I've always been into writing, and reading, both fiction and non fiction. I also did a journalism course at sixth form last year, where I got to work in a team to make a young people's health magazine for our local borough, which I really enjoyed. I'm also really into all the women's gossip and fashion magazine, and I could imagine myself working in one. I will admit, Ugly Betty is a bit of an influence too . I haven't done much since, but currently I'm just trying to research what could be a good pathway for me into entering the magazine industry . I don't mind doing newspapers and web journalism as well though . I'm thinking of starting a blog to help display and practise my writing.

How about you? What are your reasons?

Wow, that's lovely! You should totally start a comment blog.

I got into journalism mostly by accident. I joined the student newspaper and managed to work my way up to political editor, and it's really fun work. I get to combine my love of politics with the great team we have.

I am considering becoming a journalist. I am currently undertaking a law degree.
How do I enter into broadcast journalism?

I want to be a journalist!
I did work experience at a magazine and had my article published. I also contribute to my college paper and was picked as a writer for livethescene.com.

I'm applying for English this year but I definitely want to gain some work experience at University.

Btw is starting a blog a good idea?

I am so joining. Aspiring journalist since 14 years old!

Doing a few work experience stints at mags, and went to Journalism Summer School, ahahaa. And I definitely want to be a foreign correspondent/war journalist. :]
