Advice from a 30-year vet: change your major to engineering, or computers, or business. Newspapers are dying every year and the rest are cutting staffs. Broadcast only takes the prettiest people. If you do go into broadcast, count on being "dead" career-wise after age 40. If you stay in journalism, do something else to earn money. You won't earn very much at all in JN. Sorry to seem so cynical, but that's the way it is.
