<p>What is the best major and path to get an internship at a place like MLB.com or Sports Illustrated? Does anyone have personal experience with a sports writing intern? Are certain schools notable for getting students these specific types of internships? Thanks.</p>
<p>Clips, clips and more clips are really what seals the deal. Get skilled at both writing game stories on deadline and crafting deeper investigative or feature pieces. The journalism degree itself is just the ticket which opens the door to the interview - what will make or break your career are your reporting and writing skills, as demonstrated by your clips. So, hone your skills to a sharp edge by doing as much practicum as you can.</p>
<p>You don't learn journalism in a lecture hall.</p>
