They ask, I tell them. They immediately say no.
Apparently “newspapers are going out of fashion”. Well, apparently you’ve never heard of online newspapers and the articles written on there.
They also said that it’s “too difficult to get a job within journalism”. I’m sorry? I have thought about this so much. The course at the uni I want to go to almost guarantees you a job after the course. It has so many contacts through the BBC and ITV (e.g.) and allows work placements there. The only thing I have to do is work hard for my A-Levels and hope to God that a) they allow me on the course and b) someone actually employs me at the end of it all.
There was no support from them at all. Just negativity. Should never have said anything.
