I just got hired as a morning producer working 12am-9am at ABC7 in Sarasota, FL. It’s been a bit hard to adjust to the new schedule but it truly is a rewarding career. Thank you for the amazing advice, you’ve really helped me out a lot
I just got hired as a TV news producer for a top 50 station, right out of college and I am so nervous! This video was really helpful. Thank You Karla! I subscribed!
@@Pickthewinner Hi. I had a degree in media communications with a focus in broadcasting. However as long as you have a regular communications degree or a journalism degree or some sort you should be good to work.
@@harrisonbelsanti1923 hey Harrison. Sorry for the late reply! I see you have an anchor reel up, so I hope things are going well for you man! I'm no longer in news anymore, the specific station I was working for was very toxic at the time. We had bad management and a lot of the talent quit. Not to mention the pay in this current economy of news isn't the greatest! It was rough I'm not going to lie. My advice is to start at a smaller station and work your way up for the experience. This industry can be tough, not a lot of free-time and you'll have to work weekends when you're just starting out in your career. Also just do your best to research the station and make sure it's a good fit and slows you to grow your skills as a journalist before moving away and signing the contract. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. My ig is @dev.banx
I just graduated from Full Sail and have applied for a number of associate producer jobs. thanks for this video I truly needed this to help me put things into perspective.
I want to do something in the broadcasting world and had to do an assignment and randomly chose news producer to due my research on , this video really helped
Thank You so much for your A+++++ job video, my goodness, you do so very much, I admire you fully and now I have an understanding of what a news producer does. Thank You again, Karla🌹
this was such a great and informative video! thank you so much for sharing. I'm reallly interested in what your out of work life looks like! What's your sleeping schedule like?
I worked on the 4:30/5am NBC shows during the time of you filming, I was in the editing booth! I feel like I might have met/seen you. Of course I remember Dana and Alyssa!
Please tell us how you got started. And what do you suggest for persons that want to break into the industry (me) from years in the entertainment (music) industry? Thanks
A long story short, I networked with my current boss at a career fair for media students at my college. My biggest take away is to put your work out there onto a portfolio website so that when you do go to hiring events or you apply to jobs you have something to showcase your skills!
@@KarlaGonzalezTV thanks for your response, I will look into doing that for sure! I am live in Atlanta, so there is much opportunity but getting a foot in the door is quite difficult. I am hoping to somehow find a apprenticeship with one of the networks. Much success to you, blessings!
Great Video! I have a diploma in Broadcasting Television but do you still get full training when you get the job or is there a lot expected of you when you first start?
I think I got training for about two weeks. The first week I shadowed some of my coworkers and the next week I was thrown into rundowns to practice! I think that’s what really helped me get the swing of things. Hope this helps ❤️
Hey depending on when you graduated you should look into being a Hearst fellow they put you at a station where you get training for 10 weeks and then after the 10 weeks you get offered a 2 year contract for another Hearst station
Hello! Typically, people in the industry have some sort of communications degree. However, I've seen people work their way up by getting a job as a production assistant, assignment desk, etc. Hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing this video! I graduate in a few weeks and have the goal of being a news producer. Are you free to chat? I have a TON of questions!
