John Peter Zenger is often credited with scoring one of the first victories for freedom of the press. In 1735, he successfully defended himself against charges of seditious libel brought by the Governor of New York. The trial was significant as it established the precedent that truth could be used as a defense against libel charges and contributed to the evolution of freedom of the press in colonial America.

What jobs are related to journalism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Book Editor

Typically, book editors work for publishers. A book editor’s responsibilities include evaluating manuscript submissions and selecting books for publication, communicating with authors, line editing the text, and overseeing the design process. Some book editors are freelancers who work directly with authors who are looking to self publish via online publishing platforms.

Content Producer

Content producers are writers and editors who work online to ensure that website content is fresh and accurate. Skilled content workers understand online communication and can work well under pressure (the deadlines and hours associated with online journalism are often quite demanding).

Grant Writer

Many non-profit organizations depend on funding from grants in order to keep operations going. Journalism graduates are trained in persuasive writing, which is a key skill for grant writers. This position also requires excellent organizational skills.

Newsletter Writer

Many organizations publish subscription-based newsletters (either online or in print). Of course, these companies need to hire writers (either on a full-time or freelance basis) to craft the content of these newsletters. Of course, newsletter writers must have experience writing for the particular niche covered by that publication, so it never hurts to become a specialist in several areas.

Public Relations Specialist

Journalism students learn how various forms of media work, which is critical knowledge for a public relations specialist. PR specialists are responsible for interacting with the media to convey an organization’s message. This often involves writing, editing, or “smoothing” out a company’s exciting copy and communicating with journalists to gain maximum exposure for the company they represent.

What is the payrate of a photojournalist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The pay rate of a photojournalist varies widely from state to state and based on the job that they are doing. A photojournalist owns the copyright to each and every photo he/she takes. (some usage restrictions apply when people are involved) Thus, a photojournalist is selling the use of a picture more often than selling the full rights to the photo. There are different types of photojournalists listed below and some of the average pay rates that have been noted:

* Freelance Photojournalists: Pay varies based on job, magazine, newspaper or event. Some are job rate paid per photo or per session and some are hourly. Rate average $100 per hour or $150 per purchased photo.

* Wedding Photojournalists: True wedding photojournalists typically have a background in newspaper or magazine photography. Their pay rate can vary by the hour or by the job. Prices range from $200 per hour up. I have seen photojournalists who charge $10,000 for their efforts on a wedding.

How can a teen be a journalist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As a teen, there are many opportunities that you can take advantage of to become a journalist. The first one that came to mind was submitting "I-Reports" to major news networks like CNN. You can take pictures of events in your local area to be shared on-air to millions of viewers. Another idea is to contact your local newspaper or tv station to inquire if they need a summer teen reporter. You can also submit articles to a wide variety of magazines to be considered for publication. Another popular outlet for the latest news and topics of interest is writing for a blog. If you maintain a blog, not only you will get lots of writing experience but you will also be exposed to many topics and issues of interest to your readers.

Do you need a degree to be a journalist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To be a journalist there are a number of avenues you can try. If just finishing school, the best thing you can do is start a Communication/Writing degree. Whether this be at university or TAFE - the choice is yours. Many people enter the world of journalism later on in life, after having life experience and something of interest (a hobby) to write about. They work on niche magazines or newspapers that are about their interest. But if you're wanting to work in newspapers, the best way about it is to get some work experience. Do some work for nothing. Get to know people in the industry and find a person you can call a `mentor'. That way they can teach you everything you need to know over a period of time. They're someone you can refer back to and ask advice and guidance. From here, get some of your stories published and continue chipping away. If you ask a newspaper/media business for a job and they say there's nothing going at the moment, get in touch with them once a month. Times are tough at the moment, but there are always movements and you just never know. If you see them often enough, when a position does come available, hopefully they'll think of you first...

List of schools offering sports journalism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a very big question, and it is difficult for us to answer because there are hundreds of schools that offer courses in sports journalism; many of the schools that offer a journalism degree allow you to specialize in sports reporting. I do not know where you live, but look at the websites of the colleges and universities in your state that have a Journalism major, and see if they offer courses in sports reporting. You ideally want to attend a school that not only has a Journalism major, but one that has its own newspaper or TV or radio station, so that you can apply the skills you are learning in your courses and get some good experience.

Is journalism a profession or a craft?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Journalism as a craft would focus only on the writing aspect because the craft is a skillful way of doing something with your hands. Craft can also be seen as an art. In other words, journalism cannot be classified as a craft because it is broader in a way that it is not only about writing articles.

How many hours does a journalist work a week?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Newspaper journalist : You will need to be flexible about your working hours. You should be on the internet at all times. You will need a smart phone to be perusing other publications authors constantly to fill your own column for deadline. Following up stories, responding to breaking news with an uneducated opinion is always a must, and meeting deadlines can mean plagiarizing for long, irregular hours, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. Broadcast journalist : Your working week can be long and may involve unsocial hours and shifts. You should be flexible and may need to work overtime to meet deadlines or cover a breaking story. Magazine journalist : You would need to be flexible about your working hours. Although the standard day is usually 9am to 6pm, you may need to work longer, irregular hours to meet deadlines. You may spend some of your time traveling to follow up stories. This could involve overnight stays at the home of an interpreter during overseas travel. Depending on the type of magazine you may or may not have an opportunity to fish and drink.
