OnlyOneShaneCrawford said:Great thread guys.
I'm going into year 10 in 2006. I am an aspiring sports journo from Sydney.
I write for SportsAustralia and I also write occasional opinion articles for the Hawthorn Footy Club.
i was the SEN Rugby League Tri-nations correspondent for 2005, and on top of that I also reviewed both the 2005 Rugby League and Union seasons on World Sport Overnight about a week ago.
Every Sunday on 3SER Casey FM Radio's show - The Sunday Roast - I have my own 20 minute segment where I talk about Rugby League, Rugby Union, the Swans and NSW Cricket.
In 2006 I am about to undertake a writing role with the Trendwest Sydney Kings and LeagueUnlimited.
My sport of choice is AFL, and I also love cricket.
Once I finish my HSC I'm hoping to move to Melbourne and attend uni there.

Have you ever done it? Have you written for a paper? well if you havent, then give it a try yourself before speaking such crap!Joffaboy said:Well personally I am a drug dealer and people smuggler which has far more integrity and dignity than a bootom feeding, gutter crawling hack journo.
RogerRabbit69 said:Just like most jobs, there's a huge range.
When you start off you might be on $25-30K, but if you hang around for long enough with one of the metropolitan dailies for example, you could eventually earn around $70K. As I said in a previous post, check out the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance website. There are plenty of examples of pay rates on there if you look hard enough.

vinnie_vegas69 said:I'm a media student, and while I have to take a lot of journalism subjects, I'm not sure that's the career path I'm going to take.
I'm thinking about majoring in radio production, because while Digital Radio coming up, I'm thinking that it will be a boom area for jobs, and it's something I'm very interested in anyway.
To put it bluntly, it's the radio equivalent of digital television.OnlyOneShaneCrawford said:Excuse the ignorance, but what exactly is Digital Radio?
And some people think Digital TV take up is slow. Wait till they see digital radio.vinnie_vegas69 said:To put it bluntly, it's the radio equivalent of digital television.
Essentially, it's radio that works on digital technology which allows additional information such as images, information (think program and song titles) as well as significantly higher quality audio and many, many more channels than current analog radio.
Australia will be adopting the new Digital Audio Broadcasting standards that will be agreed upon next year as the foundation for a Digital Radio Network in Australia.

Joffaboy said:You are a fraud and a liar. You haven't played either game.
But continue to make a complete fool of yourself on an internet forum where you think you are an expert.
Are you a journo? You have the same ethos, like a eunuch you know how it should be done but cant do it.
Know nothing Bandwagoner.
Come back to me once you have played a game
