While the face of journalism may be changing from print to online for some, the transition does not mean that the career is less desirable. The career of a journalist relies on fact checking and writing skills, which is why many people require training to perfect the craft. Because journalism is a popular field with a limited amount of jobs, potential employees should consider accruing experience or education that could help them stand out to employers. The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation recently announced it would provide $4.6 million over the next five years to help the country's teachers better educate students on becoming journalists. This initiative will be known as the Reynolds High School Journalism Institutes, which will offer two-week training programs to educate teachers on how to properly train journalists. The program will offer the most up-to-date innovations in news media and reporting. Those who are interested in a career in journalism should look into small broadcast stations, online newspapers and magazines as they may provide the most career opportunities, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  |
