How to become a multimedia journalist?

To become a multimedia journalist, you must earn a bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, or a related field, with coursework focused in public speaking, economics, writing, political science, or a specialty field about which you hope to write. Employers prefer applicants with experience, so you should seek to contribute to your school newspaper or pursue internships with a local broadcast station or newspaper. Because you work with various media platforms, you must understand radio, television, print, and web publishing. Your duties have you interacting through social media, developing stories, and reporting the news. Other qualifications include excellent people skills, the ability to tell a story, computer proficiency, research experience, and accuracy with language.
