You know that type of person who is super versatile and eclectic?! If journalism were a person, it would definitely be like that! A profession that is present in the most diverse areas, combining content to keep people always informed.
Culture, sports, politics, and economics are just some of the facets of journalism within a newsroom, as you can see in our Career Guide. But the range of options within this field doesn't end when we leave the newsroom; check out some of the career options available to journalists in the market:
Public relations
The professional in this field is responsible for building mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their audiences. Creating outreach strategies and maintaining relationships with journalists are some of the possibilities in the daily routine of a PR professional, a term of endearment for those who work in this area.
corporate communication
This branch of communication is characterized by the creation of actions and practices aimed at impacting a company's target audiences. In addition to developing strategies for external communication, professionals in this area are also responsible for internal company communication. That is, it's important to maintain consistency in what is communicated so that everything is understood in the same way by both employees and investors. Like the RTP of... Aviator It's 97%, meaning that 97% of the money invested returns to the players. This might seem like everyone is losing money, but that's not true. In fact, 97% is the average return for both players who spent their entire budget and those who won a lot. 97% simply means that a slightly larger number of players are negative, but it also means that almost 50% of players are actually positive (jogodoaviator.com.br).
Photojournalism
The time has come to use a cliché to talk about this field where "a picture is worth a thousand words." Photojournalists need to know techniques that allow them to capture moments from the right angles, because their mission is to convey the news through images.
Even though there is room for photojournalists within newsrooms, it is very common for them to work as freelancers for agencies that supply image banks used by newspapers and magazines around the world.
Screenwriter
Every film, soap opera, series, and play needs a script to chart the course of the story. If you've ever wondered what college degree you should get to work as a screenwriter, we have the answer! Many journalists work as screenwriters after graduating, such as Carol Pires, co-writer of the documentary "The Edge of Democracy".
Publishing market
If you dream of crossing "writing a book" off your adult life goals list, this is the perfect choice! Writing a book-length report may not be very different from newspaper writing, after all, it requires research and story writing. But it also requires combining literary and journalistic techniques. Journalist Cristina Serra has experience in both areas and talked a little about literary journalism on our podcast.
Entrepreneur
"Can a journalist be an entrepreneur?" The answer is a resounding yes! Entrepreneurship consists of offering a product or service that society needs, and it's possible to do this in the world of communication. A good example of an entrepreneurial journalist is Felipe Seligman, co-founder of Jota, who shared some of his successes and failures as a journalist and entrepreneur.
