hi,
i've been reading here for a while and thought id say my experience since im a college student on the paper to get a BA in journalism takes 4 years are college has 2 newspapers we both get funding from the college (the city) we can (since we get funded by the city it might be a bit different) print wtvr we want but they can also withhold money from us but legally they cant stop us from printing we actually (both papers) have one small office with a few computers and a dry-erase board and my eic is actually a junior we have a few other editors (news feature entertainment photogrophy) and a buissiness manager as for majoring you can usually register for intro to newswriting as long as you have completed the basic english requirement (eng 1)
hope it helps
