Hi,
Well, I'm hoping that you are already very much into sports. To be a sports journalist you can start off by writing articles in your blog. You can even start writing for Live Indian Sports News, Scores and Analysis.
Once your writings are accepted and getting a nice readership I'm sure many doors would open for you. You can even try to get Internships at the sports desks of Newspapers or in Sports magazine. That would really give you an experience of the professional environment and you would get a better answer to the question you just asked here.

Hi,
If you want to be a travel journalist for print media, the answer will be yes. But, if you want to be a travel journalist with broadcast media, the answer is may be. This difference in answer is because of the course you have specified. BA in English (Hons.) will help you improving your English skills but the skills of speaking in a TV show, hosting a show, facing the camera are the things that are taught in a mass communication course and have nothing to do with English (Hons.).

Hi,
It will depend on the mode of mass communication a travel journalist is working with. Generally, travel journalists working with broadcast media earn more in comparison to the ones working with the print media. But it will again depend on the type of organisation they are working with (big, small, well-known, start-up, etc.).

Hi Abbas,
Yes, it's almost like that. However, some people have very important role of luck combined with their talent to get a job as a News Anchor without becoming a News Reporter.
It's a pretty difficult job to get, but the path is somewhat straight forward:
1 - With a degree in Journalism; get a job as a reporter at a TV station in the middle of nowhere. Do anything and everything to get on air as much as possible.
2 - Compile a reel of all your best times on-air, submit this to TV stations at slightly less middle of nowhere markets.
3 - Once you have moved at least once, and find yourself in a place you could deal with living in for a

Becoming a travel journalist can be a fun, exciting, and rewarding career! As with any career, you must have dedication and passion. A good education (formal or informal) complemented with hard work is key.
Key Factors to Consider
You must love to write, especially about travel. Do you have a good idea for a story? Do you possess communication powers? Are you able to get people to speak with you? Are you be able to breathe life into a story with your words and make it come alive? Can you work under pressure? You may want to consider these before you embark on a journey to become a travel journalist.
