Last year IGN was hiring and they required two years experience from another publication big or small. You could easily get in on an up and coming site to get the experience that's what I'm doing. I also asked Kevin VanOrd from Gamespot how he got his spot and he said he was writing for a small site and was simply offered a position on Gamespot so if you are good the big sites will find you" I'm a journalism major, but I really don't see a whole lot of opportunities to get into "gaming journalism." No reputable gaming website/magazine/what have you is going to hire someone fresh out of getting their degree with no prior experience. I'd like to here from one of the guys about how they broke into the business.   I also think that a lot of people have a skewed view of what journalism in general implies. "
