Well yes, but you have to have a very high interest, like when you wake up in the morning and you know you have to go interview the crazy catlady, you don't want to shoot yourself.
Telecommunications is where you want to be.
or Radio, TV, Film or Mass Communications. Different programs at different schools.
I heard that the best thing to do is to contact the editors of magazines you would like to write for and ask them what types of articles theywould be interested in buying. That way you have a better idea of what your going to be writing about. If Journalism doesn't work out im think im gonna gointo teaching. My other option would be public relations or sports management.Originally Posted by briannnnn

Freelance writing is a good way to go while you are still in college. But you basically have to be a damn good writer as you may have to write about a diverse range of topics. One of my professors invited a freelancer to our class and she was telling us how she had written articles on interior design, hunting, city life...you pretty much have to be a jack of all trades.
You can also try your luck submitting an article to a local newspaper...if they publish it, you'll get a little bit of money (not a whole lot, but any money is better than none) and it would look great on a resume.
Mass communications is what I should do ?
You can major in anything if you want to be a news anchor.
you do realize working for a news network is stressful as hell right?
Unless it's one of the top graduate schools in journalism I wouldn't do it. What you learn in a year or two (not to mention accumulate indebt) won't give you an edge over someone who has been in the business for that period of time.
