What does ';professional experience'; entail?

I just graduated c.u.m. laude with a degree in communications after 3 years. I have working in journalism for the past 7, including editor of high school and collegiate newspapers and yearbooks.



This is the job I am looking at:

';Bachelor's degree required in Journalism, English or related field and 2+ years of professional writing experience required.';



In this case, is ';professional writing experience'; meaning I had to get paid for it? Or is it more along the lines of ';We want you to know what it's like to be on a deadline.';
