    People think its “easy” to get a journalism major. Good luck, they put sooo much pressure, and you can never please everyone.
    You have to be mentally tough because a lot of ppl will throw crap at you in this industry.
    ALOT

    Journalism grad speaking, this was a fun major to do in college. I just had a talent for writing and I saw Journalism as my best way to use that skill.

    Thank you very much for sharing this tips about journalism! Still working on my AA degree from a 2-year college. Once I complete with my AA degree in General Ed, I will be earning my BA degree in journalism while minoring in business from a 4-year college. I really enjoyed watching this video. It has inspired me to become a journalist on television in the future. Again, thank you for giving me advice of how it is to become a journalist. Really appreciate it. I was diagnosed with autism at age 3. I am working on my book which is called my life throughout with autism and being a military child. I am writing about my childhood through adulthood. I am more sociable than I was before. I am willing to become a journalist on television in the future. I took journalism course from this past spring semester. For right now, I am taking mass media in this semester at a 2-year college as my general Ed elective course as well as in journalism. In next semester, I will be taking photography as my general Ed elective as well at a 2-year college. I am living in Florida by the way. I just moved here in 3 years ago. I have been studying at a 2-year college for 7 years because I graduated from high school in the year of 2016. I started a 2-year college at age 18. For right now, I am 24 years old. Will be turning 25 in couple more months. Will be earning my first AA degree in General Ed at age 25. My graduation ceremony from a 2-year college is in May. Again, you did a great job with posting a video. I really enjoyed watching your video. I am Hispanic, and I grew up with my Spanish speaking family who are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. I was born in the city of Buffalo in New York. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. My bio parents are from Puerto Rico, and my stepdad is from Colombia. I always call my stepdad as my dad because I grew up with him. That is the one in the military. I grew up with my mom and my stepdad. I had to move from state to state for another 2 to 3 years at a young age due to my stepdad’s job in the military. I have a young brother in my mom’s side. I have four younger sisters and one baby brother in my bio dad’s side. I have one nephew in my first younger sister’s side. If you want to know which states I lived in before, my book will be ready for you to get publish. I am working on my second book for right now. Once I get my AA degree, I will be finishing my first book to get it publish soon. Hope you everything is well with you! My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you, Katie! Good luck with everything you do! God bless you and your family! 🙏

      My advice to you: consider your passion. Can a career be made of it? If not, can something involving your passion be of interest to you? Also, test the waters to find new passions. I came to college dead set on Journalism and that is my major, but I've taken two psychology courses that I really love and understand well along with environmental issues. I'm also very good at gardening and understand the science behind it. I have an unhealthy obsession with donuts and hope to open up a shop as a second job in the future. God gives us many gifts, we just have to find them and utilize them. You don't have to be a lawyer or doctor in order to be successful. If you don't love what you're doing, you won't do it right. May God bless you and guide you in this time.

    This gave me an idea! Yes, I'm a journalism major at an hbcu. My idea is to take a picture with one of those cameras that print the film after snapping a shot. Then placing the photo in a journal and then writing about it. Screw online blogging lol #deletedtumblr

    What career can be chosen if one has a journalism degree and wants so be a journalist who specialises in writing? So confused by the terms
    Also do someone need to be extroverted to become a news presenter or anchor?

    • @simranarora04
      @simranarora04 3 месяца назад +1

      Hey, I'm a second year student pursuing my Bachelors in Journalism and Mass Communication from India. As for your question , if you want be be a journalist who specialises in writing, you could become a content writer for a television news channel , a newspaper or you could even write scripts for radio programs. Not only that but you can even work for a top magazine. Just know that if you hold the specialisation in writing skills , the door of endless opportunities gets opened up for you because there's no media company that could ever work without content.
      Also, as for your second question, it's not necessary for a person to be extroverted so as to be an anchor. There's alot of actors, singers, standup comedians etc who are actually extremely introverted in real life but they still manage to do their job because they like it. So, if you have the passion for it , nothing really matters. You could do absolutely great at a job that requires you to be an extrovert, doesn't matter if you're an actual extrovert or not.
      [Out of context, but I just came through your comment three years later and I'm curious as to whether you did pursue media or not :) ? ]

    would this be separate from Communication degree or is Journalism the same for Communication degree?

    • @katieharden98
      @katieharden98  6 лет назад +6

      I think it depends on the school. At my university I am a multi-media journalism student, which falls under the umbrella of communications, but it it's still called an MMJ degree.

    I don’t know how those guys will be able to learn who are setting at one class with you because I saw your video more than 10 times to learn something but instead of learning I’m just looking to your beautiful face like a white rose and my mind not allows me to learn. Please tell me if you have a job as an anchor or journalist at any Television to see you like every day meeting. Take care
