>> I would worry less about the major than I would about skills.
I think you need to think about what skills you'll need to graduate with,
to be prepared for, for a job in journalism,
and that's going to apply regardless of how the industry changes.
You could be a poly-sci major or I think they had policy analysis
or there are a variety of things like that.
I would encourage students to pursue internships every summer that are related
to their career interests, try to work their way up each summer to a different type
of publication, and a different size, different audience, different style of writing.
I would try to do a mix of print and web, and I probably would try weekly.
I would try a magazine, daily newspaper, all of the above.
