<p>Is communications ideal? Or can it be any major…</p>
<p>communications or broadcast journalism</p>
<p>You could even minor in communications and major in something like political science. Getting an internship at a local station while in college would be a great way to get your foot in the door!</p>
<p>Comm would definately be the way to go, or broadcast, and yes, get an internship, it looks impressive. it’s all about who you know.</p>
<p>ha…i was listening to the radio the other day and some girl called in and asked if you had to go to college to be a DJ. He was like “no, not really”…buuut if you must, i’d go for Comm or broadcast journalism</p>
<p>There is a difference between a DJ and a talk show host. A talk show host should know something about the topic the show is focused on (obviously!). So if it’s a political talk show, a major in political science, history, economics, or philosophy would probably be good. I think it would be better to major in one of those subjects, and learn the radio “trade” as an intern, via a college minor, or through a 6-month or 9-month course at a specialty broadcast trade school. Most radio stations and TV networks have web sites, and on those sites they usually have a brief biography of their on-air personalities. From what I’ve read on those sites, relatively few of the famous radio and TV talk show hosts actually majored in communications while in college.</p>

<p>Although I don’t listen to KIIS FM, I know that Ryan Seacrest got his degree in journalism. There’s at least one example.</p>
<p>stand up commedy and journalism</p>
<p>you cant major in stand up comedy!!! but if i were you I would do broadcast journalism or radio/television!</p>
<p>you could really do any major becasue radio dj’s really dont need a college education but having one always helps! so you could major in whatever intrests you. it could be biology, finance, pre-law…idk whatever you want really!!!</p>
<p>broadcast journalism and whatever field that you’ll be talking about.</p>
