Yes! To become a journalist, you have to attend college/university and graduate with at least a 4-year degree ( called a "Bachelor's degree.")
A Bachelor's degree takes 4 years of college, attending full-time (also called "Undergraduate School.") A Bachelor's degree in journalism mixes industry-specific courses with broad exposure to the arts and humanities. Therefore, students emerge from their degree programs as well-rounded individuals who can make authoritative comments about the world around them. Students enroll in broad journalism courses, which can include news editing, media writing, reporting, and ethics.
Master's Degrees (Bachelor's Degree required first, and then you continue on for approximately 2 years in Graduate School) in journalism and communications appeal to two kinds of students. Many professional journalists who aspire to step into leadership positions in news organizations enroll in master's degree programs with an emphasis on media management. Other professionals who earned their undergraduate degrees in other fields can enroll in master's degree programs focused on corporate communications and media literacy.
A growing number of colleges and universities now offer short certificate courses in journalism to help business professionals understand how the media cover stories and to open up news gathering to curious amateurs. Prospective journalists who completed their undergraduate study in another field can enroll in associate degree programs to complement their life experience with the core skills for a new career in reporting or editing.

Why is the role of journalists and photographers so important during wartime?
During wartime civilians have no way of knowing what is going on without someone telling them. We aren't actually there seeing the war, which is why journalists and photographers go overseas. Journalists do this to inform and keep us updated with what is going on, photographers go to offer proof to what the journalists write, because without pictures all we have is the journalist's account. Also some free lance photographers do it to simply make money and to have an account of the war as it progresses.
