Television Jobs

The job is at WKYC in Cleveland, OH.



The parent owner is Gannet, and it is affiliated with NBC.

What interested me about this job were the different descriptions of what I would have to do. I was not looking for reporter or meteorologist, and this one looks for a production assistant. Which I believe would be a very good way to start this career. I would have to help as a newscast floor director, which I believe would be exciting.



This wouldn’t be my first choice as a career. My first option is Musical Theater, but that is a even harder business to get in. So, when working on television I wouldn’t like to work with news. If it the only job available I would take it off course, but if I could chose, I would probably be an actor, director, producer, in a TV show, and if that is to hard I would also like to work in entertainment channels such as MTV, VH1, and especially E!. To prepare for these jobs I believe I should take all of the classes required first of all. It is very important to know how to write for these shows, or right stories on-line. Also it is very useful to know how to work with videos, editing and filming. For the job at WKYC I would definitely have to learn more about the News industry, how to work with a TelePrompTer and how to direct a news show. I would also have to learn how to write news scripts.

It is also very important to just keep watching whatever channels or shows I am interested in. Keep myself informed about this business and make a part of it as soon as possible. Through blog, tweeter, youtube and such...
