Journalism Questions

[JashimChando]

What are some alternative majors you can take for journalism if the school you want to apply for doesn't have a specific journalism school or doesn't offer as a major?

For example, i'm thinking of Washington University in St. Louis but they dont have a journalism program. What can I take instead of journalism but still be on a track of going to a journalism graduate school?

Can you please tell me how yellow journalism affected the United States at the turn of the 20th century? Does yellow journalism still exist? And if possible please give examples. Please don't give me smart remarks like do your own homework because this is a part of doing my own homework. Thanks.

I absolutely LOVE journalism and writing in general, but i realize how little they get paid. I am really smart (#1 in my soph. high school class of 300) and want something more than just the average 20,000 a year u get in a journalism career. does anyone know of something that deals with writing or journalism that gets paid more?

This might help if you are looking to pursue journalism. Here you can even look at jobs.

Unfortunately, English degrees don't get you high-paying jobs in general. Perhaps, you could pursue editing.

A major in English or writing would be good majors to choose. This list may help you if you are looking for a college that does have a major in journalism.

Your last question is going to depend on your school's requirements for graduate school in journalism.

Three topics concerning Journalism have been merged into this single topic to address the broader subject of Journalism in general. At the moment, I am assuming the topics were created for no greater reason than to allow the OP to advertise off-site products in his posts, but I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume that these subjects are being sincerely addressed, since Hermes has taken the time to provide answers.
