Q: I am new to this forum. I have been freelance writing for several years with many published credits in familiar magazines and newspapers. I don't have a journalism degree and I was wondering how I would be perceived if I applied to a newspaper or magazine as a staff writer without one.

A: You need not have a degree in journalism to have credibility. Any degree can work -- but you must show through your experience that you are qualified for the position you want.
