How to become a reporter?

Some employers prefer a master’s degree in journalism, communication, or a related field, but others only require a bachelor’s degree and previous experience as a journalist to work as a reporter. While pursuing your education, you should study the basics of journalism, including investigative reporting, non-fiction writing and editing, and working for a news publication (school newspaper). Getting an internship or entry-level position at a reputable media outlet after earning your degree can give you an advantage when seeking a job.
