I like to think of myself as a "baby" journalist, yes that's a weird term to like. But I was grateful to get a packet from my photo teacher, Kevin Moloney, filled with tons of advice for aspiring journalists such as myself. I thought I would share some of the advice from the packet because I think much of it is essential when starting off in journalism preschool:
1. The hard work must start now.
2. A degree alone means nothing.
3. Take your time as a student.
4. Shoot pictures (or do your journalistic work) every day.
5. Find any and every outlet for your work.
6. Know the news.
7. Start internships now.
8. Enter contests.
9. Read about photojournalism/journalism.
10. Know techniques new and old.
These are just ten elements from Moloney's packet that I thought were very important. These points are straight-forward and I think that following them will definitely help any journalism student get a head start on his or her career goals.
