What is Journalism like in high school?

Question

Hi, I'm going to be a high school student soon. I moved out of state and I'm barely registering, so I have to choose my classes. Though, I'm not sure what to choose for my elective.

I was thinking Journalism. Can anyone tell me what you do in Journalism and what it's like?

Answer 1

The journalism class I took was very basic.  we learned about the history of journalism and different types.  We also learned the basic outline for writing a news article and we had to dissect real news articles.  I usually love english classes and i had high hopes for journalism but i ended up hating it.  It could have just been the way it was taught to us.  I don't know.  If it's something you think you might want to go into than I suggest you take it.  If you end up hating it you can cross it off your list of potential careers!
