Hi Kavita,
No, its certainly not necessary to do MBA if you want to come a travel journalist. Being a travel Journalist is more about knowing and understanding the culture and aura of place you visit. I will suggest with your studies also start exploring different places near by and shoot documentaries. will help in your communication skills and also how you look at different aspects of cultural diversity.
All the best.

Hi,
Well, I'm hoping that you are already very much into sports. To be a sports journalist you can start off by writing articles in your blog. You can even start writing for Live Indian Sports News, Scores and Analysis.
Once your writings are accepted and getting a nice readership I'm sure many doors would open for you. You can even try to get Internships at the sports desks of Newspapers or in Sports magazine. That would really give you an experience of the professional environment and you would get a better answer to the question you just asked here.

It will depend on the mode of mass communication a travel journalist is working with. Generally, travel journalists working with broadcast media earn more in comparison to the ones working with the print media. But it will again depend on the type of organisation they are working with (big, small, well-known, start-up, etc.).

Hi Abbas,
Yes, it's almost like that. However, some people have very important role of luck combined with their talent to get a job as a News Anchor without becoming a News Reporter.

1 - With a degree in Journalism; get a job as a reporter at a TV station in the middle of nowhere. Do anything and everything to get on air as much as possible.
2 - Compile a reel of all your best times on-air, submit this to TV stations at slightly less middle of nowhere markets.
3 - Once you have moved at least once, and find yourself in a place you could deal with living in for a

Becoming a travel journalist can be a fun, exciting, and rewarding career! As with any career, you must have dedication and passion. A good education (formal or informal) complemented with hard work is key.
Key Factors to Consider
You must love to write, especially about travel. Do you have a good idea for a story? Do you possess communication powers? Are you able to get people to speak with you?
