I want to become a journalist/columnist working for the editorial department of a newspaper. I want to use my writing to think, not just to report.
I actually have a series of questions, but they all surround the topic of becoming an editorial journalist:
1) Will I be considered qualified for a position like this if I get a bachelor's degree in the liberal arts/philosophy/humanities, and then a master's degree in journalism?
2) Would it be better to get both bachelor's and master's degrees (or just a bachelor's) in journalism?
3) Would getting a doctorate degree help me in getting the job I want?
4) Are there any activities I can do during my last years of high school/ throughout college to help boost my resume in this area?
Thanks!
