I find the bits I've bolded interesting and amusing at the same time.
Does that mean that the opinions of those of us who are not journalists are not worthy of your respect? Your age doesn't mean you don't have a valid opinion but it does mean that others with more experience to draw on, whatever their chosen path in life, may have opinions that are based on events and facts that you may not even be aware of. The absurdity euphemistically tagged "citizen journalism" has a lot to answer for. Even people who don't have degrees are able to find jobs? What an obvious sign of your age (and I'm only 27 myself). Degrees have become a virtual rite of passage only in the last decade or so (the problem in this being that anything that becomes almost the norm is devalued). |

My age doesn't mean I don't have a valid opinion though. As a student, I'm learning all the time and I will make mistakes along the way.

Anyone can do Journalism if they want, be it citizen Journalism catching footage on phones of the 9/11 tower attacks or blogging. Some of these people that don't even have degrees go on to find themselves a job from it.

I'm a 19 year old student at Chester University mate, just passed my first year in fact yesterday. Where do you and have you worked as a Journalist?

I would hugely respect your opinions or advise. Sorry if I come across as a bit of a dick, I'm not.
![]() Two bits of advice - first, make sure your grammar, punctuation and spelling are absolutely top notch (it's advice, not advise. Advise is the verb . Do not merely rely on spell-checkers!). Nothing looks worse that someone making a valid point, but in appalling English. It looks careless, sloppy and makes people switch off. Print and internet journalism are written media, so make sure you can write!Secondly, an old saying to remember. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason! ![]() Good luck and don't be fooled into letting all that flash technology replace good, old fashioned craft and hard work. It's a highly competitive world in the creative industries, whatever branch of it you're in. |

Ha, yes I re-read my post several times and still got done!
OK, here's another bit of advice... ALWAYS get someone else to proof read your work, because it is so easy to go word blind... |

MILF. She does know how to run a business successfully though. Ignore the people on a witch-hunt who are trying to make political gains out of this.
