I want to work for a tabloid newspaper. Back ground is secretarial. How do I get my foot in the door?

Answer 1

Start researching different tabloid papers for their particular writing style. Also, most publications require writing samples before or during the interview. If you haven't already, begin doing some freelance writing for magazines and newspapers so you can build a portfolio.

Additionally, you should join an online writer's group, which is usually comprised of many industry professionals who can help. There are plenty on Yahoo.

I hope this helps.
