How can I get an entry-level journalist job?

An entry-level journalism job requires a bachelor’s degree in communications or journalism. Many programs offer internships at more prominent publications. These programs are a chance to work your way into an entry-level position. Many digital publications hire based on experience more than education, so an online presence as a freelance journalist is also a starting point. Communication skills, both written and verbal, are also essential qualifications. You can submit written pieces to various online and print publications at the same time. Once you establish a relationship with a publication, you can potentially work your way up into a full-time staff position.
