听力题 There may be many people who want to work as a news reporter. Newspaper readership shows that the newspaper market is still a viable, growing industry where you can market your skills and earn a good income. If you want to find a job in the field of news journalism then a great place to start is your local newspaper. Pretty much every town and city has one and although the events covered may not be the most exciting it will provide useful experience and will help to build up your resume. Having had local press experience can also help you if your goal is to write for the nationals. However, breaking into national market can be difficult because of the large number of writers already employed. Nationals tend to have large numbers of staff writers and these are backed up by freelancers who are already known to the papers. Like all careers there is only one route to the top—hard work and perseverance. In addition, there is the Internet. There are thousands of commercial websites covering every imaginable area. A good web site is always on the look out for quality content, therefore there is enough space in this field. The best way to crack this market is to use Google, and it will return a list of sites that cover your particular speciality. See which ones have current news, stories, articles or technical publications, and draw up a shortlist. Contact the webmaster or editor with a proposal and a sample of your work. Please do read the contact pages on the individual sites for any comments they may have about submissions.
