Journalism CV (Journalist Resume)
Job description
Journalists research and write stories for international, national, regional and local press. As well as news and politics, journalists report on sports, arts and culture, science and business. They cover national and local events, entertainment and other human interest stories.
Junior reporters write up stories allocated to them by the news desk. They pass these to the news editor who in turn hands them to sub-editors. Other roles include correspondents, who are specialists in one field or location, and feature writers, who cover topics in depth, using a more personal style.
On small newspapers many journalists have to multitask; they may work on layout, photography and sub-editing as well as stories.
Today newspaper journalism is becoming increasingly multi-platform, making IT, web and broadcast skills highly valued.
Generally work activities and tasks may include the following: interviewing people in a range of different circumstances; building contacts to maintain a flow of news, for example, police and emergency services, local council, community groups, health trusts, press officers from a variety of organisations, the general public; seeking out and investigating stories via your contacts, press releases and other media; attending press conferences and asking questions; attending a variety of events, such as council meetings, magistrates' court proceedings, football matches, talent contests, etc.; working with the news team, photographers and editors; recording interviews and meetings using shorthand or technical equipment; producing concise and accurate copy according to the newspaper's house style and to strict deadlines - daily newspapers may have several each day; writing short 'fillers' to entertain, and researching and writing longer feature articles, sometimes for subsidiary publications and supplements; creating and uploading news content for the newspaper website; ”live” online reporting or real-time blogging when covering important events - a growing area of work, especially on national newspapers.

Fashion Blogging
I have a great desire to become a freelance writer for fashion journalism. Now being close to completing my sophomore year at college, I have grown to have a strong passion for writing and journalism. Recently, I have realized how I could also use my passion for fashion with my major and future career as well. I think doing freelance work during the summer and hopefully during the next school year as well would be super beneficial for me. It would give me lots of experience for my future career and help me to become a better writer. I am someone who is reliable and hard working so I would be able to handle to have a job like this. I feel that my experience as a news editor for my college's newspaper and news director for my college's radio station has helped me to become a better journalist and prepared me to have a job such as this. With my writing, grammar, leadership and organization skills, I think I would be a great addition for any publication as a freelance journalist. I love to write and want to always improve, so I feel that this job would help me to be able to do this for my future career as a journalist.
