Into Journalism with a Law Degree

Law School
nixon.sathya 16 Oct 2013, 14:03

I currently in my final year of BL degree. I am planning to apply for a journalist job in a print media. Can some one suggest me a road map.

I am planning to practice and work as a journalist, I think that is allowed as per the advocates act.

May I ask learned people to suggest me a step by step guide to get there?

Thanks

By studing Law, you cannot become a journalist. Journalism is a full time profession. Make up your mind, if still interested, then get yourself enrolled in any journalism diploma course. It will take you another 1 yr. After that start your career in journalism. But don’t give a second thought of restarting your career in Law; It will only make your life difficult to sustain any further than you had actually planned for.

Thanks
