7 Halloween Costumes Only Journalism Majors Will Appreciate

With so many awesome journalism-related costumes, why not dress up as one for Halloween this year? Here are seven Halloween costumes only journalism majors will appreciate:

1. A Girl on Deadline

We all know making a deadline can be stressful at times. By dressing in sweats and carrying around a coffee and papers, people will get a kick out of your costume. You may not even have to dress up!

2. Rory Gilmore

If you’re a fan of Gilmore Girls, Rory may be the perfect costume for you. With a plaid skirt and knee socks, you can look just like the private school girl. Don’t forget a notebook (and a cup of coffee)!

3. Barbara Walters

If you’re a die-hard fan of The View, dress up as this beloved journalist for Halloween. Wear a short blonde wig and chunky jewelry, and don’t forget to flash everyone a smile.

4. The AP Stylebook

We all know journalists live and breathe the AP Stylebook. Give everyone a laugh by decking yourself out in a cardboard box decorated as the AP Stylebook. Bonus points if you pass out cupcakes!

7. Andy Sachs
