Take classes in my major...check.
Gain practical experience in Journalism writing for the college newspaper, radio, TV outlets and web site...check.

Here's a great resource: The Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism just published its State of the News Media 2011 Annual Report on American Journalism.
The survey and the project director, Tom Rosenstiel, were featured recently on NPR's Talk of the Nation. Read the transcript and listen to the story.
Last thing on a JDM major's checklist...be prepared!
