Automotive Journalism

5 03 2007

Alright, lately we’ve been having these guest speakers come into our classes and lets just say they’ve been less than optimistic when referring to the ability for students to get their getting feet in the door.

So I took it upon myself to email the editor for Canadiandriver.ca and see what he had to say about getting into the arm of the industry. I’m not going to copy and paste the email but I will give you the general gist of what it was about.

He started off by stating that it isnt very easy to get into but if you have the right qualifications than your already 3/4 of the way there. One of the key things he told me was that I should practice writing like the publication I hope to write for because that’s what they’re going to be looking for.

So I’m much more relaxed now that I may actually have a future in journalism and a career I’d actually like to boot!

no you suck too much to become a journalist. haha just kidding. Automotive journalism would be pretty sweet, although i don’t know much about cars so i might not read your article, but i’ll still laugh at your mug shot :P
