Tips for journalism please ?

Question

I'm just in the 8th grade but am very passionate about writing and the media. I want to do broadcasting journalism but don't have a clue about the courses I should take. I also want to know if there is anything I can start doing right now that could give my career a boost later on (even thought I go to a school in the UAE where we don't have a school radio station, news channel or news paper.)

Answer 1

Well when I was in high school I worked on the school paper. When I went to college, I pursued a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. Since you are in 8th grade, you don't really have to worry about the extracurriculars until high school. A lot of people don't get the experience they want until in college because some come from small towns.

Answer 2

mass communication is a good course in journalism and media broadcasting.

good luck!

Answer 3

There is a great opportunity for you.  Try starting a school newspaper of your own.
