Entertainment Tonight’s Post

To my #journalism friends: The Insurer is hiring! Despite diversification of media sources, platforms and content consumption habits of the public at large, and noted struggles of the #news industry over the years, there remains considerable opportunity in #TradeMedia to not only earn a living, but to hone your craft as storytellers and gifted #writers. Admittedly, I'm biased as trade press is more or less how I got my start. Check out Michael Loney's post below and see if this opportunity with a Reuters #newsroom is for you. #Jobs #Employment

Here are a few more reasons to hire a former journalist: *We can quickly assimilate information and repackage it in a compelling way for a wide-ranging audience. *We collaborate well and work independently with minimal supervision. *We know how to talk to people and build trusting relationships. I'll add another layer to this clip by Hannah Davis that I've experienced: a bystander, such as a camera operator, PR person, or spectator, trying to get your attention as well.

👇🏼That part. The amount of times I had to literally make something out of nothing in mere seconds, all without breaking a sweat... in front of millions. And my mistakes? Well, those aired in front of millions, too. My time in television sharpened so many valuable skills that allow me to thrive both in life and in my new career now. Improvisation. Humility. Learning to fail gracefully. Conflict resolution. Critical thinking. Versatility. Creativity. Effective communication. Adaptability. Inquisitiveness. Intellectual curiosity. Situational awareness. Tenacity. Grit. The ability to overcome adversity. Receiving and responding to feedback and criticism with compassion. The list goes on and on. There is no better teacher than a newsroom. If you’re looking for candidates that will make good assets in quite literally any environment, someone with Television experience on their resume is an excellent place to start.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my near decade in newsroom management and the mistakes I made. It’s a stressful job that moves at break-neck pace, but I wish I had the perspective I do now that would have made me a better manager. I think often of the ones who fell through (or who I pushed through) the cracks: The smart young producer crippled by the anxiety of a rundown meeting. The aspirational reporter forced into a producer role that was a terrible match. Inexperienced journalists with investigative dreams not quite ready for that big get. The time constraints and pressure of putting on 10 hours of news a day were always at odds with the individual goals of many in the trenches in daily news life, but I wish I had tried harder to not let the daily grind get in the way of encouraging young dreamers. I fought with upper management often about considering peoples’ feelings as a factor in all decision-making, was frequently told I was too emotionally involved… but I could’ve done a better job of pausing amidst the onslaught of daily deadlines to provide more support. I hate to think that, for some, their days working under my management were the hardest of their career. Sure, you can say “They’re stronger because of it” or “They weren’t cut out for local tv news.” And that all may very well be true, but that doesn’t make it right. If I could go back, WHICH I NEVER WOULD, I’d give that smart new producer more space, time and support to find his own way and protect him from the harsh criticism of other leaders just trying to get a product on air. I’d take the hit and let that young aspiring reporter try a few more stories and work to find a better fit for her that didn’t require her to do a job she hated. Why not just fill the 4:00 B-block with re-run fluff from the noon? And I’d take a few more risks letting reporters try for those lofty stories knowing good and well they wouldn’t make slot and may never even see the light of day, Because in the grand scheme of things, my impact had the potential to last well beyond the evening news, and I regret often putting the evening news first. #TVNews #FormerJournalist
