[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s important to remember that journalism is not a profession. It’s a trade. Which is why I agree they should major in something else and get involved with the school paper/radio station or whatever. It helps as a journalist to have something to write about. Worth taking journalism 101 to learn the basic tenets and maybe any technical classes on, say, digital tools. But the rest remains an on-the-job experience model.[/quote] +1000 The smartest journalists I knew were the econ majors The weakest journalists I knew were the comms majors - Former newspaper person who saw it all [/quote]
