Students: stop dreaming of a job in journalism – and get to work
Article
This article encourages people with dreams of becoming a journalist to do more than just a journalism degree. In order to get a job in that particular field you need to have experience like writing columns in student newspapers according to the guardian. Jonathan Baker, a former head of the BBC’s College of Journalism, says media companies put a high value on a candidate’s ability to demonstrate their commitment to a career in journalism.
Qualities such as energy, enthusiasm, flair, imagination, analytical skills, intellectual curiosity and “a reluctance to accept things at face value”, are also crucial, says Baker.
In my opinion, I think it is good to go to university to do a degree which is a little more broad than the field you want to go into, giving a graduate more opportunities to get a job and succeed. However, it may be a little too late for older people to change their courses and people who are in the last year of collage and sixth form. It is a valuable comment, but it may have been said a little too late.
