Recently Sarika Bansal, editor of Medium, came to Emma Willard to discuss her career in journalism.
These are some tips she gave out:
-Networking in journalism is key
-Good questions in interviews include; Anything else? Anyone else I should talk to?
-A good journalist knows how to "read the room"
-A good journalist "eases" his/her interviewee by making small talk and making him/her feel comfortable
-Never write anything without speaking to at least three people
-Best way to get inspiration is to write about your most embarrassing moment
-You can't be a freelance journalist and make money
-Great to travel
-The hook is the most important part of a piece of writing
-Pictures are fun
