Is it better to get good grades or to make connections?
Hi, there! I'm curious as to how to succeed in school, and I'd love to know what my priorities should be. A lot of people have told me that connections are the best resource we get from college, and that it's what most helps with our aspirations. I'm hoping to become a photojournalist, and I've become involved in various clubs, and I've also gone on some career fair/networking events on and off campus. At the same time, I'm doing my best to maintain a 4.0, though it's becoming harder as time passes. So I figured: why not try to figure out what I need to focus on and make time for? So to anyone who's already "made it", what got you to where you are: grades or connections? #journalism #online-media #online-journalism #broadcast-media #broadcast-television #writing-and-editing #writer #photojournalism #networking

Why is journalism dying and what are the skills of a competent journalist?
There are some great journalists who work for The Atlantic, The New York Times, and other sources. I was talking to a friend the other day about potential careers and she said I may be a journalist. She thinks that we need GOOD journalists; not just people who write about pop culture. I do agree with that. Journalism is dying because of the internet but how can we bring it back? Journalists have guts and make the INVISIBLE, VISIBLE. This is a good example: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/09/amtrak-conductor/499664/ "You just learn so much from people in general by working the train. The railroad is kind of like a microcosm of society."~David Pryor. A unique perspective of how someone views a railroad...

Is journalism a dying breed?
I am a high school freshman and have always loved writing. I am currently involved with a journalism class in my high school where we produce on eight page newspaper every month. Starting in September 2016, I will be the new page editor for our Features page. My lust towards writing and journalism has grown vastly ever since I enrolled in this class and I know this is what I want to study in college and ultimately what I want to do with my life. My parents, on the other hand, are extremely skeptical about me wanting to pursue journalism in college. They believe that there is no money, let alone jobs available for aspiring journalists. They suggest that I go into a more practical field involving writing such as advertising or public relations. So... Is it true that if I study journalism in college there may not be a job for me after graduation? #journalism #advertising #author #writer #public-relations #youtube #online-journalism
Why is journalism important?
Ever since I was in the 6th grade ive wanted to become a Journalist. I have a strong passion for informing, researching and helping the commuity as best as I can. But, I have also realized that there is barely a demand for journalists. And anytime I express to anyone that this is my future they point out the idea that " there's no money in that ya' know?" . I believe that there will always be a need for informtion. I just want to get a better undestanding beyond informing. #journalism #communications #broadcast-journalism #online-journalism #science-journalism #mass-communications
