What does it take to be a travel reporter?

As the name implies, a tourist reporter refers to a special correspondent who writes tourism-related information. It is a major subdivided from media reporters, focusing on the profit demand of the media. Others are IT reporters, car reporters, health reporters and so on.

To become a tourist journalist, you must first obtain a journalist's qualification certificate, and then apply for a journalist's card at your news unit. News units can apply for a journalist's card at the General Administration of Press and Publication with the qualification training certificate for news editors. It is not a qualification examination similar to the judicial examination as you understand it, and it is not open to people other than journalists. You have to enter the news unit first, and then you need to take the qualification examination.

China reporter qualification certificate is divided into primary, intermediate and advanced.

Travel journalists in newspapers are often classified as journalists who don't care about current affairs, are insensitive to news and don't look like journalists. My political colleagues said to me, "You won't read the budget of the Legislative Yuan, will you?" 」

"I don't know the news" is probably what he wants to say; Strangely, many people think that travel reporters are not journalists, but they will tell you: "It is best to be a travel reporter, and food and play are everywhere."

Work-study students came to ask me, what do you need to be a travel reporter?

After graduating for more than ten years, I changed many routes, such as medicine, health, environmental protection, rapid transit, sports, science and technology, which are more like news, and I also worked as a local reporter in the south for a while. Traveling seems to be the most interesting of all, doesn't it?

However, the longer you travel, the more familiar you feel, but the more you feel your own shortcomings.

The history part is ok, you can find information to strengthen it.

What about architecture? I have read some books on traditional architecture before, and some architectural vocabulary can still be handled.

What about plants? After studying for several years, I had some ideas. The boss of leisure farm talked nonsense when traveling, and didn't fool me.

What about interior design? This stumped me. I know nothing about many famous furniture designs.

Of course, tourism does not stop there. There are frogs, butterflies, bird watching, folk celebrations ... and local snacks, shopping, fine products and so on, which everyone likes very much. Tourism is such a complex complex.

What if you don't understand? I have to ask more questions.

Of course, asking questions can also increase your knowledge, but the person who tells you the answer sometimes gives you the wrong information because of his own shortcomings or wants to brag a little about himself. then what There is only one solution-constantly enrich yourself and avoid falling into the trap.

Running travel news is certainly interesting, but it is not because you can eat and play everywhere, but because the travel content is all-encompassing and there are many topics to write about, unlike other routes, such as running professional baseball, which is not about writing games and people, but about analyzing politics. Listen to those who receive state money but do nothing all day. What about technology? Although the product is constantly innovating, it is still a product, and it is boring to write for a long time. In short, it is almost the same thing and writing, which makes people tired easily. After a long time, they forget their interest in writing, but traveling is different. Every time I write, I always have to think for a long time. While introducing the scenic spots, we should also pay attention to the creation of the atmosphere. The production of a report often requires a lot of effort, and it can be revised again before it is released.

If someone tells me that this report is really "wonderful", it is the best compliment after hard work.
