How to become a journalist?

I have a very strong feeling that the flair for journalism is innate.It is not just getting a qualification.But, a regular study for a Degree in addition to the talent is of a great help.The talent can be brushed up that way.But, fundamentally, there is a need for an aptitude,so develop that aptitude.
