"When searching for a job as a journalist, get ready to be grilled on your journalistic practices and ethics. Consider creating a personal website with examples of your past work as news organizations will be interested in past reporting and writing samples. A diverse portfolio and a bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field will give you a strong advantage."
