<p>Hello everyone im new here,
I have a big problem. I would love to study broadcast journalism, the problem is I dont know what to do and what school to pick in Florida. I live in Florida and Im not sure if its better to stay instate or out of state.
THe problem is I never took my Sat's, and im not sure if I took the ACTS. My GPA is not 3.0,but yes I did graduate high school.
Im wondering if I should first go to a community college and raise my GPA take the test and then transfer to a university? Ive been looking at the art institute of Ft.lauderdale broadcast program but Im not sure if that school is great or worth it. Please help me.
thank you</p>
<p>please can someone give me some insight??
thank you</p>
<p>You'll need to tell us what your actual GPA is, so that we can tell where you have a shot.</p>
<p>DEFINITELY go to CommColl first though, as it will prepare you for college admissions tests.</p>
<p>Go to community college first. Take course that will allow you to go to a 4-year university after you finish community college. Do well in those courses and after you finish community college,transfer to an in-state university like UF that offers the major that most interests you.</p>
<p>I do not suggest paying the big bucks to go to a private school now when you can get the basic courses that you need at a community college. Also, since most college students change majors at least twice, you probably would be wasting time and money to select a college now based on what you think you want to major in.</p>
<p>I used to teach college journalism. Many students thought they wanted to be in the field because they thought it was: easy and they thought they could be anchors because they were good looking and glib talkers.</p>
<p>Journalism -- particularly broadcast journalism -- is a very competitive field. To do well in it as a reporter, one needs to be a fast, accurate writer , a good researcher, and one needs to have excellent grammar. The path to being an anchor is by being an excellent reporter. </p>
<p>Journalists -- including broadcast journalists -- also are extremely well read. If one doesn't like to research, read or write, and if one isn't fast and accurate, no branch of journalism would be a place where one would be likely to succeed as a reporter.</p>
