this field, you might pursue a

writer who writes the news, a
reporter who covers breaking
stories, a video editor or even an
assignment editor who scouts out
the stories worth covering.

3. As with most professions, you'll need to start gaining
experience as early as possible.
If not, you can also gain experience by starting your own
online blog or podcast or by volunteering at a community
radio or TV station.
While having TV or video experience is best, having any sort
of journalism experience is better than none.
After college, get more work experience -- and industry
connections -- through internships or by freelancing for
smaller news stations or newspapers. For more information

4. For writers or producers, you may need to compile a
document that demonstrates your best written work and also
produce a video reel.
You may need to take several internships and be open to
part-time or freelance work to get your foot in the door. Also
keep in mind that working at a TV station is just one avenue
to pursue. Don't overlook jobs for Web-only publications,
prominent blogs with video channels or jobs for private
businesses that focus on video, film or even radio
production.

5. The median wage as of 2012 was $35,870. You'll likely need
to work at a small-town TV station before you can land a job
in cities such as New York, Los Angeles or Atlanta. Landing an
internship -- typically unpaid -- at a station where you would
like to work can increase your odds of getting a job there,
although the competition for internships can also be pretty
stiff.
All journalists need to maintain a portfolio that shows the
types of work they have done and what they're capable of
doing.
