<p>What courses should I take at community college to do some fashion journalism as a side career?</p>
<p>Aside from your gen ed requirements, obviously writing courses, print and new media journalism. Fashion and textile courses to learn the vocabulary and appreciate the techniques involved. History of fashion (if possible).</p>
<p>However, just as importantly, read, read and read even more about fashion. Read the best journalists. Absorb the industry. Visit any exhibitions or shows local to you. You can also try to submit articles to your college newspaper and to online blogs which accept guest writers. And if you make any contacts in the field, keep them and cultivate them.</p>
