Working in the Entertainment Industry

I used to work part time in the entertainment industry @ Zalebs.com, an entertainment website dedicated to reviewing and following the lives of celebrities. I would interview celebs, write articles and post about their daily lives and what they get up to.

Studied my diploma in Journalism and Media at Damelin Braamfontein for 4 years. I've always had a passion in working in anything media related, and more in the Broadcast or Social Media space rather than in print. I have a passion for writing and interaction with people, So my time in Zalebs was an amazing time because media is what I've always been fond of.

In this industry before you think of venturing in it, it will need you to have passion for it, have the drive, determination to be dedicated and ofcourse be a people person because there is just no way you'll enter into.. or survive it. Media as a whole does have money, as long as you work hard.

Many think and will tell you that you'd rather study for other fields because there is or lack of money here, however they do really know that you can make it here and survive on media, whether it's working for an entertainment website like I did, being a journalist, a reporter, in broadcast or even in print.

You certainly have to study anything media related (at Varsity or College) to even thing about being in the media game.It's tough surviving on this industry, but as I said, if you have passion and drive, you will achieve a lot of things and rip the rewards.
