Majoring terms in college?

Question

I'm trying to figure out what types of things I want to major in, and I want to know what the term of this one would be; Beings news anchor on ESPN.

Answer 1

Journalism Major

Answer 2

Broadcasting

Answer 3

I work for a broadcast news network in Las Vegas, and all of our anchors and reporters have a degree in either Broadcast Journalism or Broadcast Communications.

Once you have that under your belt, having a wide knowledge of sports is of course mandatory, however no one STARTS out as an anchor.

Many start out in smaller positions, such as a reporter.

Anchor isn't achieved until after many years of experience.

As for starting with ESPN, many people start out in smaller local network markets before making it to larger national media networks such as ESPN.

Think of ESPN as the Taj Mahal of sports anchoring.
