“Learn as much as you can both inside and outside the classroom and get hands-on experience however you can. Any small business or family friend could benefit from social media. Offer to take it over – this is a field where you need the fundamentals of communication paired with on-platform experience. You will learn so much by doing, by experimenting, creating hypothesis and solving them. Keep track of your efforts to build your resume,” Weltman shared.![]()

“I’d always wanted to be a newspaper reporter, and CJC had an excellent reputation and interesting faculty. I remember hearing once in an elevator at UF, “People who can’t make it in English lit and writing novels choose to major in journalism.” I had to smile because it was the exact opposite for me. I’d always wanted to be a reporter and work for a daily newspaper, informing the community, inspiring action, and providing a voice to those without. Ends up, that’s exactly what my career in newspapers allowed me to do, first for the Gainesville Sun, then The Ledger in Lakeland, Fla., and finally the NYTimes Feature Production Center in Atlanta (for a total of 15+ years). I switched to institutional journalism a while back and maintain that universities make interesting beats as well,” Loftus shared.![]()
