The skills you require depend on the kind of journalism you want to do. If pressed, most journalists will tell you that the most important skills are persistence, imagination, self-discipline and huge self-confidence. More specifically, journalism covers a range of tasks.

You must have good enough eyesight, since our products are all miniatures and are 1/12th the size of the real object.
