Consider contacting your local newspaper for a tour; no kidding, I was able to get one. If you're in college (or high school) you'll want to start writing for the paper. The college paper will be much more fulfilling, of course. Get to know the photographers and editors; in my experience, those were the guys that could get me stories and that could guide my hand.
And although I'm sure there are some who would heatedly disagree with me, consider reading, and rereading, novels by Hunter Thompson; specifically Hell's Angels. Some folks don't appreciate his style of writing, but the man, a journalist, was able to take a largely uninteresting or vile subject and make it quite entertaining. I was greatly inspired by his journalism.
