Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
I recommend that you attend a four year state, or private, university that offers an accredited degree program in journalism. Communications, broadcasting, et-al, are sub categories of the journalism field. Most employers require a four-year degree from potential candidates. You may also start off by attending a two year communications program at your local community college, which should also be accredited. This will give you an opportunity to explore the field of journalism before you commit to a four-year degree. Speak to your career counselor about proper career planning and any personal assessments to be made. Be prepared to work hard to achieve your goal and do your research as it is a very competitive field. And you will have to actually spell words out! Good luck to you!

I used to be a broadcasting major at a community college. There used to be an emphasis on TV, but now it's just a radio thing. I know that Iowa State University (www.iastate.edu) has a fairly good TV program. You can check into it there!

If you're serious about this, then you'll want to make sure to research the colleges you want to go to. You'll need a degree in telecommunications, communications, media studies, or another related field.
You'll want to talk to a high school advisor, and possibly make appointments with advisors at a few different colleges to see what they can offer you. You'll want to find a programme which can offer you internships - it'll be as important to get actual job experience as it will be to get that degree.
You could also try contacting yor local news station - most professionals are willing to offer advice and support to young people looking to get into their field. Good luck.

You are looking for a degree in telecommunications. Schools like Ohio University are well known for their T-Comm program with many local and national news casters being graduates from the program there.
