i'd suggest getting a degree in journalism. It's really surprising how hard it is to get a career started without a degree, most jobs i've researched wont even give you an interview without a univeristy or college degree. Credentials aside, in journalism especially it's REALLY beneficial to get some post secondary training, you'll make contacts within the industry, and a lot of programs set you up with some sort of internship or practicum so you gain some actual experience. If you can afford to go to college, and you have a real idea of what you want to do, do it, otherwise you're just shutting doors on yourself.
