English to work as a journalist

START TODAY

Journalism is a field inherently linked to communication and information gathering, two tasks which are greatly enhanced by the command of additional languages. Will it be useful to master one of the most used languages in the world as a second or third language to deepen my source repertoire?

The answer is yes and there’s no need for further research to find out that one of your best options is ABA English as an English course for journalists for a long list of reasons: flexibility, natural learning, hyper-availability of your study materials… Learn more below.

IMPROVE YOUR JOB OPPORTUNITIES

In such a connected world, you do not need to leave your house to analyze the global picture in order to do local journalism in your mother tongue. Not to mention, it is no mystery that many journalists turn to automatic translations to easily translate articles that later become the subject of ridicule by many readers, who can personally see the original news. That would never happen to someone who has reached a good level of English and brings adapted information to their readers. You wouldn’t translate by machine, right?

What level of English do you need to work as a journalist?

You see it on TV all the time, journalists sent to remote places in the world to report on things you couldn’t imagine. If you roam the planet in the effort to inform, entertain or expose the world, inevitably you will find the need to communicate your findings or simply talk to the people you meet on your travels.

Here is a list of phrases a journalist might use in English:

Right now we have the pleasure of asking Dr. Smith about his findings. (Ahora mismo tenemos el placer de consultarle al doctor Smith acerca de sus hallazgos).

Our viewers may be asking themselves why this is special, let’s let the interviewee explain further! (Nuestros espectadores se podrían estar preguntando porqué esto es especial, ¡dejemos que nuestro entrevistado explique en mayor detalle!)

Could you tell us more about what it took for you to get to this point? (¿Podría decirnos más acerca de lo que le tomó llegar hasta aquí?)
