And may I toss in, "learn how to think analytically"? If you can't think an idea through logically, you can't make anyone else understand your viewpoint. And if you can't think logically, you won't find the flaw in anyone else's reasoning. That leads to believing the last thing you hear. All excellent points.

Then you need to be doing it yourself already. Get a blog, engage with the communities of interest. And based on all the above, do some research, and find which college is going to cover the skills and knowledge that you specifically need, and which fits your personality and interests. No one can answer that question for you except yourself.

Publish yourself and build an audience. If you teach, encourage your students to self-publish. My students did and to everyone's surprise Reuters nominated our blog, from the American University of Sharjah (near Dubai), for a student journalism award. Don’t wait to be published.

As a student i find it encouraging to be reminded of what i need to be doing to get into the industry. I know plenty of people on my course who don't read a newspaper or watch the news but want to do Jeremy Clarksons job. I must agree that reading books isn't as important as you first suggested. I've always had an issue with reading fiction books since a young age. Perhaps It's affected my creative writing side but i want to be a Journalist not a Novalist. On the other hand i love reading real life stories especially biographies about Journalist's which i think is a vital tool if people are going to learn how to be succesful. A great post, thanks!
