Major Problem

[Eman]

I am very interested in beginning a career in videogame journalism, but first I need to finish my degree. I am currently a sophomore history major and am wondering would it be wise to switch to a journalism or English major and take a few extra classes.

Here is the quote from the job description for a Gamespot job:

Have completed or are completing a BA/BS university degree or equivalent 4 years' worth of higher education, preferably in English, Journalism, or other writing-related field. Formal writing training a plus.

So, would history be considered a writing related field?
