I like to write but I need a real job. Is interviewing celebs, writing abt them, not just celebs even big honchos etc the only thing that journalists ultimately do?
What about media management? Plz show me the right path.
If it’s not already too late, I would highly advise AGAINST getting a master’s degree right off the bat. Just get your Bachelors then get your first job. Most journalists get their good jobs based on experience and NOT on their degree. Then after you’ve been in the industry for a few years and know better which direction you’d like to go in, that’s when you’d go back to college to get your Maters.
I work at a local TV news station, and there are lots of journalist majors here working as news reporters or producers – and they almost never deal with celebrity issues (I have no experience on media management – so cannot advise on that).
Good luck.

My son has his Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication and Media Arts. his major Photo Journalism. he is the Sports editor , for 3 different publications. Although news print is becoming extinct in a sense there are still a lot of opportunities out there for a writer without having to schmooze celebs. What kind of thing interests you the most? that would be the thing to pursue a career writing about , because you will enjoy what you are writing & so will the reader.*
