In fact, a degree in Media and Journalism would be best, with many hours of Speech, and more English than is "required". I would get on my resume' as much public speaking and activities in the community as I could. While you are in school, or summers, try working with local TV news as an intern. You may not make any money, but it will pay off big time. Get a portfolio going on writing you have done and submitted, even if it is to "letters to the editor". Get involved with your student Journalism association/fraternity and do as much PR work as you can for any other organizations. Every bit of exposure helps. Finally, a great personality is vital. Don't try to cultivate a phony one, or mimic somebody else. It won't get you far. And be preprared for being the best qualified, and still not getting the job. (awww...). When you speak of TV journalism, you are really talking entertainment. And "stars" are not born,..they are made.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, I would certainly make sure my Journalism degree included a minor in Media.

The first question to ask to yourself is: "Have I ever seen a job offer as TV news reporter?" (except for a local TV station, perhaps). Sorry to disappoint you, but I have worked in communication and media during 15 years and I know that diploma, skills and talent are of secondary importance when looking for such jobs.<br><b>References : </b><br> Without good and powerful connections, I’m afraid it’s going to be very hard.
