Experiences in journalism?

<< < (2/2)

Blue Kitty:
I wanted to be a journalist, but after taking a single class I soon figured out I did not.  Being a mortician is my new calling.

Emaline:
I have a friend who graduated with a degree in Mass Comm. Her intention was to become a journalist. She now works two jobs, one with me at a record store, and another at a bank. Woo journalism!

Darkbluerabbit:
This may be optimistic of me, but I think that if anything, the prevalence of blogs and digital cameras SHOULD make professional journalists more accountable.  If a story is reported without complete accuracy, it's becoming increasingly likely that some person will have photographs of an event that they will make public and potentially discredit the story.

Johnny C:
I dunno about real journalism but arts journalism is a fucking blast. This year I interviewed Oliver from A Place To Bury Strangers and Julie Doiron among others. If I was to go into journalism, that's where it would be - there's nothing wrong with being a subjective arts writer.

Anyways, for advice for journalists? Go into every interview with ten questions. No more, no less. That will almost always result in a great interview. Feel free to expand on points and, you know, do research about whoever you're interviewing. People like to hear that you've paid attention.
