Would you like to consider a career in journalism? It’s one of the most important fields in any functioning democracy. It’s also a pretty challenging time to make a living as a journalist, given newspaper layoffs and closures, and other traditional paths being just as iffy these days.
But in addition to traditional journalism, there are alternative media outlets that have cropped up, such as The 19th*, the independent, nonprofit newsroom depicted in Breaking the News, as well as other avenues like social media, podcasting, online magazines, and so forth. And even if you’re not actually thinking about a career change but are curious to see what kind of journalistic field would suit you best, why not try our quiz that tries to find the right fit for you. (And if you are a journalist, well, we hope we came close. Or you at least had fun.)
[Note: This quiz has not been scientifically vetted, nor will you be locked into this career path as if it were the career chips in Futurama.]
