Journalist as a Career

Job Duties

Photojournalists

Photojournalists are news photographers who tell their stories visually. They work for newspapers, magazines, television and more. A photojournalist will cover newsworthy people and events. Some may work independently as freelancers, selling their photos or film to various publications.

Reporters

These journalists gather news and prepare articles and reports for newspapers, radio, television stations, or magazines. They identify and track sources of information, and they carry out interviews. Reporters may sometimes work in dangerous conditions to cover breaking stories and often work under hard deadline pressure.

Editors

Editors work with writers by reviewing, editing, and rewriting work to meet editorial standards. They review story proposals and assign stories to staff or freelance writers. Editors can also be involved in the production, designing page layouts and coordinating illustrations.

Copy Editors

Copy editors prepare content for publication by finding and fixing errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax. They also check for consistency and accuracy. Many publications use both full-time and freelance copy editors.

New media journalists

New media journalists blur the line between print and broadcast journalism by using text, images, audio and video to create and publish their stories. They work for online newspapers, magazines and more.
