The qualifications to get a job in journalism depend on the type of work you want to do.

Increasingly, publications seek candidates who have advanced qualifications, such as a master’s in journalism. To work on the editorial side, you may be able to begin as a copy editor or proofreader right out of high school if you have the appropriate skills, but having a bachelor’s degree increases your opportunities.
