Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Journalism Merit Badge. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Requirement 2: print and online, or radio and television?

Both need a visit to a newsroom. Only Option A states a virtual alternative if there is nowhere near you, and it needs your counselor's approval in advance.

Requirement 3: which ONE of the four writing routes?

Two of the four need your parent or guardian's permission and your counselor's approval before you start. The Scouting-event route is the only one you have to submit to somebody else.

Requirement 4: how will you cover the public event?

Answer this BEFORE you attend. One route needs photographs taken at the event and another needs you to watch it critically, neither can be done afterwards.
