[quote=Anonymous]Another current journalist here. I disagree with a lot of you. I like to hire journalism majors who have had substantial internships. The degree is not useless as many of you (non-journalists) claim, but teaches students how to research, how to write cogently, etc. A minor in a particular field of interest is very helpful, whether it's environmental science (I think reporting on climate change and its impact will be big over the next decades) or public policy. That said, I focused primarily in English undergrad, worked for a few years in nonprofit communications and got an MS in journalism from a good school. I am in print, but some fellow students went on to careers in broadcast journalism, starting in very small markets with very low pay. I think it's a mix of talent, luck and looks that propel some to the big markets. [/quote]
