I didn't think it was lawful for me to not use slang. Sorry for offending you.

I was in your situation a few years ago. However I was working for an American company in Mexico. I also have a Master's Degree. My job transfered me to the US so my company covered the cost of the H-1B(which is the worker's visa for professionals).
Have you tried applying for jobs yet? Some places might require you to have your H-1B visa before applying for jobs. Here's a link with other links that might be useful.
I have to say having an advanced degree does get you in the door more quickly than if you were an unskilled worker.
So yes you have a good chance of coming to the US for work and residency.

I have a degree in Journalims 1977. It was great for several things, gave me balance to do many jobs and can adapt very well with the background of a generalist. Today, a journalism degree is near worthless. I would seek out the other degress for long term growth and development. Newspapers in general are failing and to work at the TV newtorks you need to be a celebrity, or know someone. The days of hard work and being a respected reporter are long gone. Now it is more a bubly personality, or a complete whack job like Bill O'Reilly. Good luck in your career.

Hy there Skyefire.
Not sure which country you are writing from but if you aim to get your masters in International Journalism, I would think you'll need to be a bit more precise with your statements, or you may start an international incident.
As a general rule, you are an 'immigrant' only in respect of coming from somewhere, i.e. people in England are concerned that there are too many 'immigrants' coming to Britain from Eastern Europe.
When you are going to somewhere, you are a 'migrant', an 'emigrant', or even an 'emigre ', i.e. Many people from the indigenous population of Britain are now considering 'emigrating' to other warmer countries.
I don't think the use of slang on 'answers' is prohibited, so I wouldn't worry to much about any criticism, but it might be better for you to make use of 'answers', as a place to practice your journalism skills.
Good luck with your plans!

You would have a better chance than most people. A Masters degree is pretty much the minimum required to get a work visa. Unless you qualify for another visa, the work visa is your most likely route. You would need an employer to sponsor you. Your degree would, ideally, be from an institution that is recognized in the USA. You may want to check out the American Council on Education website for more information.
Please be aware that life in the USA is not easy. What may seem like a fantastic salary can quickly get eaten up. Healthcare costs a fortune and saving for retirement is a must as seniors get less from public funds than they do in western European countries.

You have more chance than many who ask the same question here but you will need to find an American employer to sponsor you. Good Luck.

If you are only counting on just Qualifications to get through American Immigration ,then you are not being realistic.
A country would want to know more about what you had been doing before and at present with your Time.
You may have been writing articles that have had to been censored for content. Where and when did the articles you wrote get publicised. I don't know for sure but be prepared for a disappointment if you have been involved with anything Anti -American. Aspects of you background count a fair bit if you are to be offered a welcome. That is Fair .

"Cuz America require a lot..."
Professionals which have something to offer often have a good chance of being accepted.
Professionals also understand it is unprofessional to use slang and improper grammar in their writing.

Oh hell ya! We welcome people who can contribute to our society. And people with your credentials are in a minority here.
Please come!
I dont know why someone gave me a thumbs down....24% of Americans have a bachelors degree or higher..so just imagine the % of those that have a masters. Geez, reality is hard for some, I guess..

Sure you can, in America several countries have rather liberal immigration laws, Argentina, Chile and Brazil among them.
