[quote=Anonymous]My DC is a young journalist. It really depends a lot on what your child sees as that path as journalism has changed so much. Reporting vs opinion? That’s the first hurdle. Then print vs TV/radio. There are the traditional big newspapers, local TV /radio news, and networks, so much is shifting these days that the lines between news/opinion are blurred. Most local papers are gone. And bloggers, Twitter and all sorts of competition are in the mix and part of the job. Then there is long form (The Atlantic, etc) vs daily news. Pay is awful to start. But if you have a following and wrote books or columns on sub stack you can do well. Unless DC is going into technical aspects of production I would skip journalism school, study a traditional liberal arts major of interest, and work for the college newspaper as an EC.[/quote]
