APT# CITY, .STATE International Employment Directory 1984 Frank, continued from pgl Frank described some essential tools for success in journalism as a writer: “The individual must love to read, have an interest in politics and an inclination toward reading. Writers are generalists, not necessarily specialists. They have a wider interest in a wider number of things.‘‘ Frank said there must be a basic interest in the media, books and the movies. “It is very important to be able to express yourself and have the ability to develop communication skills.” A writer must also develop telephone, spelling and typing skills. Since Frank’s territory is so large, he must depend heavily on telephone interviews to gather story information. “I would estimate th^t I spend about 90 per cent of my time on the phone; that is why it is so important to have communication skills,” explained Frank. “People are often reluctant to talk to a reporter over the telephone, so I really need to be able to reassure them and convince them to talk to me.” Frank commented that most women writers were aggressive and self-reliant, but many found themselves in a lonely profession. Frank was encouraging to future journalists:“Things are expanding in journalism at a greater rate than ever before. There are plenty of opportunities out there for people who can write.” “It is very important for you right now as college students, to make contact with people in the business who are in a position to help you get a job,” Frank told students. “It is still a very competitive field and anybody you know in the business who you impress now, can help you get a job later on.” This is the last page of the COMPASS for the year and we could not close this issuewithout thanking all of you.
