Quiz: Do you have what it takes to be a journalist?

Written by Madeleine Burr | 9/1/26, 4:58 PM

Good journalism requires more than knowing how to string a sentence together. Reporters have to find stories worth telling, ask the right questions, verify what they hear, and make sense of conflicting information, often on a deadline. They also need the curiosity and persistence to keep digging when the first answer isn't enough.

At Patrick Henry College, journalism students put these skills into practice as they learn the craft of reporting, interviewing, pitching, and writing. But how would your instincts hold up in the newsroom?
