How to Get Into Gaming Journalism

Are you the Behemoth?


Everybody gets their start somewhere. Today we discuss how you can get yours!

  • Start a blog
  • Start a podcast
  • Do it with a friend!
  • Pick a direction (your unique hook – always breaking the news is tough)
  • Start talking to companies – beginning with indies
  • These places are business – they have phone numbers and addresses – get ahold of them!
  • There’s no harm in just asking companies for games for review
  • Try to get into events (PAX and Comic-Con are public!)
  • Show up every day
  • Don’t give up
  • HAVE FUN!
