<p>Hello CC community. I really want to become a journalist but have learned that taking it in college just simply isn't a good idea. So I need help with deciding on a major that could possibly supplement a journalism career, or just be an alternative in case journalism doesn't work out. I personally was thinking video editing but I have no idea what major that would fall under. Any other tips or suggestion are very much appreciated. :)</p>
<p>Perhaps it would be more helpful to explain what type of journalism you would like to go into. When I hear “journalism,” the first thing I think about are newspapers, in which case I can’t imagine being a political science, business, economics, mass media / communications, philosophy or maybe English major would be a bad thing. The thing you said about video editing is sort of throwing me off…</p>
<p>Keep in mind, I’m a psych major, so I probably am not the person you want to take advice from in terms of journalism. I, for one, don’t really understand the problem with majoring in journalism if you want to go into journalism. I just figured this may help you get more feedback.</p>
