Below is a list and brief description of the broadcasting careers you can pursue.

 

Broadcasting Careers

Reporter

A reporter is a key part of any news broadcast, and as you well know, not every reporter has the same job. Some reporters cover breaking news, others sports and some entertainment.

TV Director

If you enjoy being behind the scenes, being a TV director can be an interesting and challenging career. As a director, you guide the overall look, sound, feel and quality standards of the show. Working alongside the technical crew, writers, and talent, directors serve an important leadership position.

Radio DJ

While much of broadcasting is focused on television, radio remains an important field for both news and entertainment. Radio DJs, much like reporters, have a great variety in what they do, ranging from hosting morning shows to reporting on hard news.

Promotion Director

A promotion director works to promote a radio or news station through a combination of marketing and community outreach, such as event sponsorships, charities, events and more.

Writer

Scripts are a vital part of any news broadcast. A good writer organizes the important topics of the day to assure that reporters and lead anchors can report the news in an organized and logical way. News can be quite complex and hard to follow, so a good writer is essential to focus the story on relevant information.

Video And Audio Editors

Editors are a necessary part of broadcast and radio. Much like writers need a good editor, broadcast television and radio require the same to create a cohesive and polished product.

Production Crew

No broadcast could go on the air without a production crew. Positions such as camera operators, audio, lighting and videography are an essential and highly technical part of any broadcast.

Marketing And Sales

Not all broadcast degree holders work directly with show production, many work in media marketing and advertising. Commercial marketing itself is a varied field with ads being created for radio, broadcast, websites and streaming services.
