5) What advice do you have for millennials looking to pursue a<br />
career in journalism?<br />
I would say don't be intimidated. Yes there are those in front of you<br />
who appear to "have it all" or like they've "reached" but what I've<br />
learnt is that everyone's path is different, so make sure you fully<br />
embrace yours instead of comparing it and focusing on others.<br />
Also, always sharpen your skills. I studied and got formal training<br />
in print journalism when I was in university in Sydney, Australia but<br />
I taught myself how to edit videos off 'YouTube University' haha<br />
you can never know too much, especially in this digital realm. If<br />
you know you want to be a political reporter for example don't<br />
close yourself off to other topics like sports or lifestyle - stay<br />
informed because that's what sets you apart from the rest -<br />
diversity is key!
