Since you want to be a reporter, of course you are a liberal arts student.

What university are you applying for? I think we should do our best. The best journalism school in China is Renmin University. Once there, I basically entered the newspaper industry and the media industry. In short, try to go to a school with better liberal arts. However, I also told all college students that they don't have to study hard when they enter a prestigious school. As the saying goes, the master leads the door and practices on his own. Especially in liberal arts, what teachers have in class is limited after all. Diligent writing, intensive reading and accumulation is the right way.

As for what books to read, I also have a definition: literature, history and philosophy are not separated, as long as they are related to these, they must be read. No matter now or in the future, as long as you are determined to eat this media meal, you have to read these books. Of course, you can also choose your favorite books according to some of your own personality characteristics, which is more accurate, but you should make the past serve the present.

Now, practice writing, contribute constantly, get in touch with all kinds of manuscripts, and help others revise them. Over time, you will grow up. I wish you success!
