Is journalism really hard to find a job? What is the future employment trend?

In Bian Xiao's view, journalism is really not conducive to employment. Although the future trend looks very hot, in fact, most people may not be able to find good jobs, because although the employment scope is wide, there are fewer good jobs. In addition to being a reporter, you can also go to some enterprises to do publicity and planning. Among liberal arts majors, English journalism has its own characteristics, so the professional threshold is not particularly high. For everyone, you need to improve your core competitiveness, otherwise it is easy to get better development in the industry and lower wages.

Although they are all journalism departments, if you really enter, you will find that each major is very detailed, and the knowledge learned by each major is actually quite mixed. If you major in radio and television media, you need to study news, post-editing, shooting and writing, marketing, advertising, modern Chinese, introduction to communication, news commentary, communication psychology and so on for four years. And these are too detailed and not deep enough, which is of little use to personal development, unless you want to choose a major in the later stage, so that you will have certain value after graduation.

At the same time, journalism is actually a major that considers practice very much. In my junior and senior year, I will study some practical courses, such as video editing, news shooting and photography. Some schools may also let students of this major shoot news short films and then edit the videos themselves, which needs to be done independently, which may be challenging for students. Therefore, if you really want to engage in new literature, you should make use of what you have learned and practice as much as possible during school, so that you can accumulate some experience and have certain advantages when applying.

In the end, no matter the development prospect or from the perspective of employment, in fact, most people may still choose this major.
