Why should I even consider becoming a journalist? Elitist, yet badly paid. Hostilities online and scarce job prospects. Is a journalism career still worthwhile? It is the greatest profession of the world for some after all. How can I get a foothold in the world of media and what are the skills I need to be successful? Students of the German training institution for journalists Deutsche Journalistenschule München present the different training routes to work in an editorial department and give an insight into their own experiences, explaining why it is never too late to start a career in this field.
This event is aimed at everyone who is interested in a career in journalism and is still looking for that option for a career kick-off. There will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.
