Hi Deezer,
If you keep logging on to the website,you'll soon see an article all about how to become an editor. The main thing is to get good A levels/AVCE'S and hopefully a degree in English or Publishing. Try to get some holiday work either with a local paper as a dogsbody or a publishing house. Good Luck.

You must speak to your head of year and career teacher who can give you lots of info on different degrees based on what your A levels are. English is the obvious choice for journalism but it may be that doesn't fit in with your A levels. Take a look at this website
http://www.ready2xl.co.uk/journalism.html it's by a student at Leeds University who wants to break into journalism. I think you'll find it very interesting and hopefully helpful. :)
