Journalism as a Career Option

Journalism is concerned with collection and dissemination of news through the print media as well as the electronic media. This involves various areas of works like reporting, writing, editing, photographing, broadcasting or cable casting news items.Journalism is a very rewarding profession for persons with the right skills and aptitude .it has come the long ways since the days when it meant only the print media. Today the news reporting covers the entire spectrum as media as we know it. Print, radio TV and most recently the internet.

Journalism is classified into two on the basis of media-
(i) Print Journalism and
(ii) Electronic (Audio/Visual) Journalism.

Print Journalism includes newspapers, magazines and journals. In print journalism one can work as editors, reporters, columnists, correspondents etc.

Electronic journalism includes working for Radio, Television and the Web. In the web, skilled people are required to maintain sites by web newspapers (which cater only to the web and do not have print editions) and popular newspapers and magazines that have their own web editions. In electronic journalism one can be a reporter, writer, editor, researcher, correspondent and anchor. 

ELIGIBILITY & COURSE AREAS 

Educational Qualification: Bachelor's degree or post-graduate degree in journalism/mass communication is required to pursue a career in this field. Additional course work, specialized training or experience, fieldwork or internship increases one's opportunities in the field. There are a number of universities and institutes offering training in journalism. 
Minimum eligibility for Bachelor degree in journalism is 10+2 and for Post graduate degree courses a Bachelor degree in journalism. Some institutes also provide one year certificate courses in journalism for which eligibility is 10+2. There are also courses in specialized areas of journalism like sports, television, photo, press law etc. 

No course or training can claim to make one, a journalist. The courses train persons in the technical aspects only, to ensure one's success in the field one must have an inborn ability to write and produce new stories in correct, concise and interesting style. Latest trend in this regard is that big groups of newspapers advertise the posts of trainees for which all graduates are eligible. After conducting the entrance examination, suitable graduate trainees, with flair for writing are selected and employed. In other words, now the formal academic qualification for being a reporter, copy writer or correspondent is not essential. 

Personal Attributes

To become a journalist one should have an inquisitive mind, will power, an aptitude for presenting information in an accurate, concise and effective manner, organize their thoughts and to express themselves clearly both orally and in writing. At the same time a journalist has to be tactful, confident and organised while interviewing people from all walks of life. They must have the ability to sift relevant facts from the irrelevant. The ability to accept criticism and willingness to do considerable rewriting are also necessary.

JOB PROSPECTS & CAREER OPTIONS

Job Prospects
They can find employment with newspapers, periodicals and magazines, central information service, press information bureau, websites, AIR and TV channels like Doordarshan, ZEE TV, Star TV etc. At the same time they can do freelancing. One can also take up this career as a part time employment along with any other field of work. 
Career Options in Journalism

Journalists can work as editors, reporters, columnists, correspondents, staff or freelance writer, photojournalists, proofreaders, news analysts etc. in print (newspapers and magazines) and electronic (Radio, Television and Web) media. 
• Editing
• Writing 
• Reporting
• Photography
• Othe

The opportunities for journalists are endless and at the same time the job has become more challenging, as the new world is proving the adage that "the pen (and the camera) is mightier than the sword." Simple reporting of events is no more sufficient, more specialisation and professionalism in reporting is required. Journalists specialize in diverse areas, such as politics, finance and economics, investigation, culture and sports for newspapers and periodicals.

With the following criteria in mind the following list of the “10 best journalism colleges in India” have been compiled here. [In alphabetical order]

Credit Card Reviews

Recently, I was in the market for new credit cards. Normally I would call my bank where I have my checking and saving accounts thinking that they would give me the lowest interest rate. But my criteria for credit cards was not just low interest rate. I wanted some extras like cash back, reward points or frequent flyer miles. Now I know that I cannot get all of the above in one credit card. But I was sure that there are websites where I can go do an online credit cards comparison.
Their motto is, Finding a credit card is as easy as 1, 2, 3...

1. Research
2. Compare
3. Apply for a Credit Card

The most attractive benefit of this credit card is the 0% introductory rate that is offered for the first six billing cycles and applies to purchases, balance transfers, and cash advance checks. In addition, there is no annual fee and the interest rate for purchases and balance transfers is reasonable after the introductory rate expires.

YCN also writes a credit card blog that not only alerts readers to new cards that are introduced, but also aims to keep consumers informed about how to use credit wisely. So, if you are a credit card junkie and look to get the most out of your card, add YourCreditNetwork.com to your list of resources for the ever-increasing amount of credit card information that can be found online.
I'm most probably going to go with the Discover Motiva Card because cash back rewards is my thing.

Hope you find your dream credit card soon at YourCreditNetwork.com.
Also, don't forget to check out their credit card blog !
