Option 1: "Getting a job in journalism requires relevant experience, such as writing articles which meet specific deadlines. Temporary internships with local papers are helpful, and so is building an early portfolio."

Explanation: This option accurately captures the main idea of the text, which emphasizes the importance of practical experience in journalism, specifically through writing articles under deadlines and gaining internships. The text states that employers prefer practical knowledge and mentions the value of internships and building a portfolio, aligning perfectly with this summary.

Option 2: "Employers in new industry care more about practical knowledge in journalism, and you’re advised to practice your editing skills. You’re also advised to build up a portfolio after graduation."

Explanation: This option incorrectly states that unpaid internships are the easiest method to get a job, while the text highlights temporary paid internships as beneficial. Furthermore, it does not accurately reflect the text's emphasis on the necessity of writing articles and meeting deadlines, which are crucial for building a portfolio.

Option 4: "Qualifications in journalism are not as important as practical skills, so one need to develop a lot of necessary and practical skills, such as communication. You’re also advised to take courses like how to create web pages."
