it seems like any jobs these days are SO competitive, even the "stable, surely you'll get a job at graduation" jobs might as well chase my dream since "regular" jobs are all this hard to get into
@@probablyswamp1197 yo well now I'm 16 and in college, I'm studying Law, Psychology and applied science still not sure what to study in uni pressures on a bit more now. Still journalism is always an option for me :)
this comment was 2 years ago when you were 14, now it means you're my age now.. and yes, we share the same dream.. what do you think I should do to start building my own path in journalism, what have you achieved so far that you believe contributes to your dream career.. tell me everything please 😭
My dream is to become a fashion journalist and work for vogue and I am so committed to go that extra mile but it was just so confusing for me as to where to start but this video helped a lot, thanks.
Wow. I'm interested in a journalism major, and after watching this video I'm even more excited and passionate to become a journalist! Thank you for the inspiring words and honest perspective of the journalism and social media world!
Being a journalist is soo hard! Be willing to sacrifice your time Even if you have the day off months in advance you’d be surprise that you will get a phone call in the middle of the night to cover a story on that day off....
I start getting my degree in journalism in January at Penn State and this helped so much to give me more of that drive to go out and not give up until I get to where I want to be. I’m so excited for my career in journalism.
This video was so helpful !! I've recently been interesting in majoring in journalism. I've been reading articles from the New York Times and analyzing them; I realized that that's the company I would like to work for one day. I wanna start doing my own stories, but am not sure how to go out and do them. If there's any advice you could give for that, I would greatly appreciate itxx
Hey! I'm so glad it was useful. That's incredible! Full steam ahead and you'll get there I'm sure. Okay so I'm assuming you mean written stories. First, just an overall tip, the most incredible stories I have found is by asking people lots of questions about their lives. Everyone has a story, that's what makes Humans of New York so good. But if you want to ease yourself in try and do the following: 1. have a reliable recording device, a note pad and a pen 2. look up a local event happening in your area (for example a gay pride rally) 3. when you're there get quotes from three sources (for example a protester, a political figure and an organiser) 4. note what time they say something on the recorder that would be a good quote and write down that time stamp (saves sooo much time) 5. make sure before you leave you have the basic facts - who, what, when, where 6. write the story based off a 400 word article from a regular news site - look at how they spell certain things, how they quote people, what grammar systems they use (many publications vary) 7. get it proof read and put it in your online portfolio
This video just helped me alot because am currently doin my first year in journalism in my country and you just taught me to be extra enthusiastic about journalism am on holiday now but i practice more story writing i even start studying next semesters subjects.....its just an exciting course to do on university
cheers for the video! its hard finding honest and blunt advice for journalism careers so this has been a big help, im planning on starting a journalism course next year and needed the extra boost of info and energy, take care and thanks again!
Comfort Samuel I'm sorry to hear that! :( you may have to go out and get some practice on your. But I've found that is the better way to do things anyway xxx
i LOVED your video. It was really positive but yet realistic. Yes there is tons of competition out there but if you do your hard work, you are cutting of a great percentage of them.
Thank you so much for all of this advice, you have no idea how much I wanted to hear someone with a good word of wisdom. Writing here from Miami, and honestly beat words I have heard !!!!!!!!!
Love these videos. I really want to get into journalism /photojournalism when I finish school. I have social anxiety I find it quite hard to talk to people do you think this will affect my capability to succeed in journalism ?
Casie x i think that in journalism you do talk to be people quite often. But with photo journalism there may be less of this because, depending on what your shooting, you may not have to ask their permission. I recomend emailing a photo journalist that works with a local publication and seeing if they'd be willing to have a coffee and chat about it. The photo journalism i have done didn't involve a lot of talking but I'm just one source xxxx
me too! i wanted to go into photojournalism because i have social anxiety and i love photos that tell a story. but a lot of people tell me its highly competitive now
I like so much this video! I am from Brasil and I wanna be a journalism student soon. This is my last year in school and I wish get in USP, the best college in Brasil. I hope follow yours advices and start now do a portfolio with my texts and I expect that the english could help me to work in different places. Thanks so much and congratulations for the channel ❤👏
I hope that I'm not too late to ask this. You seem very reliable to talk about journalism, did you perhaps start writing at an early age? I'm graduating high school this year and I wonder what can I do to make me a journalist before I find any internship or community. Should I make a blog? Do you have any opinion on what should I start writing? I'm really disoriented right now but I believe my passion in journalism is still in my heart.
here's an interesting question...if you wind up with a useless degree after advisors tell you opportunities do exist for graduates, can you sue the university?
great advice!!! its been six monthssince i graduated with a journalism degree. been applying for jobs but i eithr havent heard back or i have gotten rejected. i am interning for a magazine company at the moment though. I want to get into investigative journalism. will it be pointless to get a master's in that? any advice will be grea. thank you
Have you thought are starting your own blog or CZcams channel for publicity or experience in the field and maybe publish some articles, books, or any projects on the side? That might help.
Should i consider journslism if i want to do research learn the fundamentals on how to do research the correct way possible because with journalism experience i want to use my skills toward my. Main goal which is African american studies is that a good connection. To do research is African American studies
Yes Journalism can be hard but i wanted to help you out and share a few things with you. Several years ago I took TV production course as part of my Journalism major and what I learned I can give you a few pieces of advice. One network with news anchors, reporters and others in the news business. Secondly, contact a news station near you and see if you can get a tour of the tv studio as well as intern . And lastly, someone once told me who worked as a tv meteorologist he said to me work hard, study hard and never give up if meteorology is what i really wanted. So for you if Journalism is what you want keep following your dream. Good luck.
I have been dreaming of becoming a science journalist ever since I discovered my passion in writing, like I am really piqued by ideas that Journalist in the discovery channel have or the clips from the national Geographic channel. Also I often research on things that intrigues me, so highly that I think I can write an article about them. In fact I really enjoy campus journalism in my school because it brought and stretched out the inner passion within me. But there's this problem that I am currently facing. I can't find any college that offers journalism course in my city. And I'm really struggling to find a better alternative for my passion. I have to do something the spring is just next few months.
If you are going into broadcast journalism will u write or it is just mainly the appearance and know how to speak audibly and present the news or it more than that?
Can you do another video on Journalism? Maybe what it would be like for internships, tips and tricks, etc. I am a year 2 journalism student and I feel like I am not doing enough to build up my journalism skills. I am interning early next year...
Hi, I just came across your account and journalism videos and love your insight. I am in college and I'm curious about how to go about freelance journalism/writing stories on my own like you suggest. When talking to sources, who do I say I am with? Some sources don't like to talk to a reporter without a good enough platform/newspaper. It can be hard to get solid freelance positions so I'd like to learn more about navigating this independently. Thanks!
Cool video! Definitely make some more about Journalism. Just wondering if you had any tips on picking a uni to study Journalism at? I am researching Melbourne Unis and it's so hard to figure out which ones are better for Journalism and Communications degrees...
The Telltale Traveller thank you so much! Yes for sure :) I think you need to make sure the university is very practical in the way in teaches. I would avoid any courses that involve a lot of a theory. You probably want a place that has its own tv studio. More practical real world experience you can get the bettdr. The industry is changing so much from what it used to be, so you need to learn practical skills xxx
Do you have any connections that would guide me with fashion journalism because I am in year 12 and need guidance with the type of internships and curriculums to sign up with.
I don't have anyone I can personally recomend. However, I was interested fashion journalism for a time. I used to go onto LinkedIn and search for people who worked at large fashion magazines. This was good because I was able to understand the path they took to get there. A good place to look for someone to talk to would be local fashion magazines that are a bit smaller. Also don't forget fashion week is a good time to do your own stories xxx
@@nicolesilva7734 right I mean in journalism it's no longer classified as an essay it's call a narrative.The word length is not the problem it more so the grammar and word usage. All the best just enjoy it
Hi i am simran.... i wanna be a journalist... a broadcaster ,foreogn correspondent or a news reporter with Al Zajeera i really wanna work in counties like Pakistan.... can u plz guide me on this.... how and what could i start with.. n finally reach where i wanna be... plz reply it would be very kind of you.....
Hi :) I can only say what I would do and that is go on LinkedIn and search the people who work and those organisations or intern there and look at what there past jobs and experiences were and then try to get similar experience. However, take this with a grain of salt because I don't work at those organisations :) good luck! I believe in you xx
You can always do a NCTJ or a BJTC. They’re Journalism qualifications that usually only come down to one exam for each and they are valued highly in the industry. You can do that on top of your major. I’m pretty sure they can be done online.
it seems like any jobs these days are SO competitive, even the "stable, surely you'll get a job at graduation" jobs
might as well chase my dream since "regular" jobs are all this hard to get into
good to have a little reality check/pep talk before starting my degree in a month. thanks!
