Read the article and match the headings (A–F) with the paragraphs (1–5). There is one extra heading.
If you love telling stories and you always want to know what’s happening, then journalism might be the profession for you. I was always interested in the media and it was my ambition to be a reporter when I left school. However, it wasn’t easy and it took many years of hard work to get the job I have today. Lots of people want to be journalists so there’s plenty of competition. Here’s some advice on how to get started.
Write something every day
A journalist’s job is not only to report news and events. It’s also to make people interested in knowing what’s happening. This means that you have to be interested! Read a newspaper every day and watch different news programmes to find out what’s going on in the world. You should also talk to the people you know about local news. You never know – one conversation with a neighbour or shopkeeper could be the beginning of your next story.
Be prepared
Journalists are also good at writing articles so if you want to be a journalist, you have to study and practise. Studying languages at school will help but you can also teach yourself. Some people suggest keeping a diary but a blog is probably best if you want to report the news. You can use it to write a daily account of what’s happening around you and you can even include pictures. When you read newspapers, you should think about the type of writing you see in the reports and try to copy it in your blog.
Get some experience early
A good journalist is always ready to report the next breaking news story. I carry a pen and notebook at all times and I usually have a digital camera, although nowadays you have everything you need if you have a smartphone. You can even record videos on them – just make sure you know how to use it!
A popular profession
I started out as a reporter on my school newspaper and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become a journalist. It isn’t a paid job and the stories aren’t usually the most interesting. However, you can learn a lot about how to write articles as well as how to work in a team. It’s a great way to find out if you really want to be a journalist.
