How can I impact make a change through educating myself?
I am writing to you with passion for the change I want to see in this world. Not to bring up politics directly, but that is exactly why I feel a sudden urge to dive deeper into careers in advocacy for social justice and human rights. I know there are many jobs in journalism dealing with the discussion of topics like this, but I know I am way too biased to ever maintain a career in political journalism. I was just researching civil rights/advocacy jobs, and many have related majors that I should focus on and earn a degree in. While I am absolutely positively remaining and earning a bachelor's degree in LA/CAR Studies, I was wondering if there would be a minor or concentration, I could add to get more experience in the field of advocacy? Or if there are any clubs you are aware of, rather than putting myself into more debt, that I could join and become an active member? My main interest specifically with LAS is the international side of advocacy, but I also have an interest in civil rights pertaining to women, LGBTQ+, etc... I can't think of a specific one to focus on as I find importance in representation of all. I hope you can make sense of my word spaghetti. Thank you in advance, Hope

How necessary is it to have a degree in Journalism if you want to become a journalist?
Let me give you context for my question. I've been looking at LinkedIn profiles, and everyone who writes for a big journal usually has a degree in a different field like International Relations, Political Science, etc., and they have done something related to journalism. I'd like to know what your thoughts on this question are because I'm an international student at Ensign College. I'm doing a bachelor's degree in Communications, but I'm not 100% sure if this would be the right path to becoming a journalist. I've always been interested in showing people facts about certain situations because this will affect their decisions. I feel that the media plays a huge role in informing people, and this media is not always transparent. At least in Peru, you can see how news is biased, or the information they present can be manipulated to a certain extent to show only what will make certain parties look good. I feel this is the main reason why I decided to go for Communications, but, I don't know if switching to a Journalism program (in my case, I feel BYU would be a feasible option) will help me achieve these goals or at least get me to the place I want to be when it comes to making something about my country's reality. Any honest and kind opinions will be appreciated.

How? Hello, I am Kate, a certified journalist with a higher education degree. I graduated with distinction. I have experience working in TV, but unfortunately, it was in Russia. There, I achieved success and worked for the main channel in the country. Due to recent global events, I left that country and moved to Europe. I am currently looking for a job or internship in TV or print journalism in the United States. I consider America the pinnacle of journalism, as history tells us. My English is not yet at the C1 level, but I am willing to improve it. Additionally, I know that RTVI is a Russian TV channel with American news based in New York. Please, give me advice on which company I should apply to for an internship or job as a TV journalist in America. What are the chances of being hired if I do not have experience in the American market, but I am very eager to build my career there?
