What is video game journalism?

Video game journalism (a loosely-defined phrase) is writing about the gaming world, whether that’s reporting news, writing reviews or just blogging about culture. Most publications are online but there are a few print magazines as well as gaming columns in select newspapers. It’s a relatively young career path that’s growing as rapidly as the gaming scene.

Do you really want to be a video game journalist?

Writing about video games is work, often very difficult work. Your love of writing must be stronger than your love of gaming, otherwise you’ll never make it. If you’re in it for the free games, save yourself the trouble and turn back now. But if you have a genuine desire to bring fellow gamers the news and information they crave, you’ve come to the right place.
