Fashion journalist

 

journalism can be a fast-paced and prestigious career, but when you picture it, envision a little glamor and much hard work. A typical day may include writing or editing articles or stories; dealing with photographers, public relations specialists, and designers; and researching the next big designer, retailer, or fashion trend.

A journalist needs the skills to write and report for various media, including news publications, magazines, television, blogs, and websites. The top journalists build a network of fashion who’s who to secure the best, most exclusive interviews. Fashion journalism often focuses on design trends, beauty products, and marketing strategies, written to appeal to consumers.

Journalists often begin a career path as an assistant to a journalist, editors, or reporter and work their way to becoming an actual journalist or reporter; they may then become editors, analysts, or professors.
