Reply:Anderson Cooper got started doing freelance work in Myanmar.





If you want it really bad you can go out right now, do a report and try selling it. That's freelancing. Go tell about Hurricane victims, scheme victims, Iraqis living in the US...etc.





Anderson Cooper did that by himself in Myanmar, shooting himself with 1 camera.
Reply:It starts with you learning how to write, investigate thoroughly and then working your way up into a newsroom until your editor feels you're competent enough to be an investigative reporter. It takes awhile and confidence in your abilities have to built upon.
Reply:Take it from someone in the business - every reporter is an investigative reporter. So, find work at a media outlet, do a good job, and see what you uncover.





Just a warning -- not too many outlets have the resources to tell reporters to spend days and days on a particular story without a very, very good reason. So get good at your job, report the facts, and go from there.
