As a communicator, your writing needs to be articulate and impeccable. From writing news copies to blogging, writing for different mediums require practice. If you want to improve your writing skills, practise your writing skills to develop your own style.
  • Know your way around new tools: Journalism is not limited to just writing articles. You will be required to create databases, interactive graphics, video, and visual stories. Besides good writing skills, you will need to have hands-on experience with different software. Learn to shoot videos and be familiar with different editing applications.

From locating your research sources to making sure that how sources are authentic, good research skills come handy in building a good story. Keep an eye on developments in subject areas that interest you.
  • Use social media to your advantage: Social media has become a vital part of news gathering and journalism. It will help you report, build a personal brand, and drive traffic to your stories. As a student of journalism, you should learn how to create and maintain a professional presence on social media.
  • Be ready to start small: Before you set your foot into the world of journalism, it is best to start small. Apart from attending classes, you should opt for internship programs that can help you zero in on your beat or specialization.
