what degree is most like journalism but isn't journalism itself?

hi, i think i want to be a journalist but i dont want to study journalism. what degree would be the closest to journalism that could easily allow me to step into the feild of journalism? I'm mostly interested in the writing aspect and it would be a dream to work for a newspaper/magazine, but with the decline of print journalism I don't think getting a journalism degree for the sole purpose of writing for seemingly obsolete newspapers. i was thinking smth like english. I'm also interested in history/ current affairs so maybe poli sci?
