What type of people study journalism?
Another impossible question to answer. Most study journalism in order to become journalists/reporters. Some people study journalism because they have an expertise in a particular field and they want to write occasional articles about it. Others want to improve their writing skills for contributions they make to their company newsletters. The mix in age groups is as broad as it is on the public relations courses, from 20 to 50 (roughly), with mixed backgrounds. In 2007 we had freelance journalists, teachers, civil servants and PAs, as well as an IT consultant, bar tender, software tester, DTP specialist, tote assistant, cinema staff, caterer, pricing specialist, manager, legal secretary, fire safety consultant and sales assistant.
