bein sport but its not live



it is. Companies/Organizations still need Communications Directors and PR people. Journalists fit in very well with that.

Like, journalism majors straight out of college or do these jobs require a grad level degree in journalism.

Bachelors Degrees.


DO NOT waste your time with getting a masters in journalism. Complete waste of time. Also, if you are doing work in PR or Communications, your experience and contacts will be the greatest tool for you.

Good question. I just know i want to be involved in the reporting of sport.:yeshrug:

I'm going in as a blank slate with mad raw skillz otherwise. I figure i start envisioning my specific career path as i cultivate my propa skillz.

Something online though probably, bytches love online.:smug: (as does the future etc)[...]
My advice would be for you to create a blog to show your skills.
This is a simple way to practice and this could be your portfolio when time will be due. When you'll apply for a job for example, this will be a great asset to present to any recruter. There are some jobs where actual skills are better than theorical knowledge and I think reporting is one of them.

I mean there are many blogs from people that comment on their passions, that are well-written and insightful, yet who don't have any diploma in journalism. Plus, it seems that you like writing because if I remember right, it was you that wrote the piece about Fifa 13 for the coli main page and it was kinda good (well, maybe too much digression but seems to be the "spice" in your writing).

If you can focus on the sports subject while showing objectivity and providing articles regularly, this may lead you to have some kind of notoriety and kickstart a career :yeshrug:. Unfortunately, it seems that blogs may soon be outta fashion (too many, change of media etc.) but it could at least help you train your skills.

This guy:

has a job working for major newspapers in your country and his qualification was lying about watching Arsenal youth team matches. You are a much better writer than that guy is, so I think you will be fine in the UK. John Cross and Darren Lewis have a national column in your country, ffs.

Just make sure you can operate as a one man army. Ballin photos, gangsta in photoshop, creating your own layouts, and a beast on the body. Her career is basically doing all the same shyt she did for yearbook in highschool.

this is the ironic thing. These people want you to do work like photoshop and HTML. I was doing HTML back in the BlackPlanet era.:leon:

I worked in that for a few years and liked it, then I realized this is going to be an emerging job market due to the amount of old people and needing actual humans to do this work. Its kind of fun too.

You have to know how to write tho, and that is why folks with jouranlism degrees are highly desirable.
