Need to Know

Q. I will be completing a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Media Communications in Adelaide and really want to be a reporter for the television news or be a part of the radio or newspaper industry.

I am really confused and concerned as to where I go to from here. Do I apply for non-paid internships? Do you know any networks which welcome recent graduates for non-paid internships? I love sports and entertainment along with news stories.

A. Journalism, while pretty low paid for a long time, is intensely competitive so you apply for everything and anything to get your foot in the door. Try every radio news station, tv station, newspapers - the lot. There is a book called the B&T Directory that lists every media organisation in Australia - and in Adelaide - you can view it at the State Library of South Australia or they can get it in. See what the uni library has too.

Journalism is about persistence, being bold and being determined so that is what you now need to do to get started. Call every media outlet until you get a job. Be willing to jump in anywhere. Once you're in then work towards switching to sport and or entertainment. Good luck. It isn't easy and never has been.

Degree doublesearning power

Degree doubles earning power

Young Australians with a university degree will earn $1.5 million more over their lifetimes than their friends who stop studying after Year 12, a report out today shows.

The report into the costs of a tertiary education reveals university graduates have almost double the earning power of peers that skip university. For example, male university graduates will earn an average of $1549 a week compared with men without a degree earning $811 a week. For women, university graduates earn an average $842 a week, compared with $454 for women without a degree.
