Barry’s Answer

Hi, Tyler:

How are you? The possibilities are endless for you, if you want to work in media. If you're interested in being a reporter, go for a broadcast journalism degree. To be a producer, director, sound engineer, photographer, etc, you can go for a Television/Radio/Film degree.

You can also major in photography, public relations, and many others. Think of what you would like to DO first, then find the major & college to get you there.

Best of luck!

Sara’s Answer

Early in my career, i took another approach to media involvement. I was a media planner and buyer which is taking a client's budget and planning where it makes the most sense for their advertising message to live to deliver to their target and meet their goals. This includes buying media space across different vehicles including broadcast. I'm not sure if this is an approach you're interested in but there are many ways to achieve this career. The University of Texas has a specific advertising and media program, but other colleges typically offer advertising specific classes in their marketing programs. I would recommend a decent amount of math classes as the position is focused around financial planning.

Yomaira’s Answer

Hi Tyler,

Media is extensive, and if you want to work in production, I would recommend majoring in broadcasting (TV/Radio/Film)or journalism. If you would like to work selling media space or perhaps building media plans for clients, you should look into an Advertising major or Marketing Communications. I majored in Marketing Communications and minored in English, and this allowed me to take journalism courses and media planning courses in college.

Hope this helps!
