Journalism; The It Girl Job

 Hey Divas,

   Journalism is the 'It Girl job' of most 2000s romantic comedy films. Films like: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Devil Wears Prada, 13 Going on 30, and Confessions of a Shopaholic portray these strong, hardworking female characters that have inspired women to pursue a career in journalism. 

 Journalism is a job with many different outlets, topics, and opportunities. Since journalism has many different topics it helps people find interest in this industry.

 For example, these characters from these movies all write and design for different type of journalism. Jenna Rink (from 13 Going on 30), comes up with magazine spreads for Poise magazine, while Rebecca Bloomwood (Confessions of a Shopaholic), is a financial journalist. Andie Anderson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and Andy Sachs (The Devil Wears Prada) both are interested in more political, environmental type of journalism, but they both start off at fashion magazines. 

 These films empower women to be hardworking, ambitious, and to romanticize their careers. These type of movies are my favorite because they show the characters having romance and friendships, while also having these amazing careers! Like who wouldn't be inspired to be a journalist after seeing them romanticize life in the city and being a successful writer?

 I know I am so inspired by them and wish I would've tried to become a journalist. I am already working towards a different degree, but who knows maybe I will eventually be able to pursue journalism, media communications or writing one day.
