6.01 Interest Inventory

The journalism job that interests me the most is photojournalism. There is an opening for a photojournalism position in Tampa, Florida. In this position, a person could expect to make anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000, depending on the newspaper they work for and how much experience they have.

The skills required for this job are strong photography and video-editing skills. You have to be able to effectively operate in a "live" environment, be able to work deadlines, you must be able to adjust to changing situations while covering news, and you must exhibit strong news judgement.

To become a photojournalist, you have to have a Bachelor of Art in Journalism with emphasis on photojournalism. Others choose to do a bachelor's degree in visual communications. You also need a certain level of experience. A good way to get experience is being an intern for a newspaper company, or an assistant for a magazine, newspaper, or online publication. Then develop a portfolio of all the experience you have.
