Trying to keep track of how many stations were affected today, and how many different positions at those stations were eliminated.
If you could just post your position and station in this thread

No wonder they've been so soft on Scripps: Look who Radio + TV Business Report put on their cover.

(I wish I had a bigger version of the picture but...)

If you notice, all of their writings about Scripps and the layoffs have been extremely soft, almost repeating the cushy lines that Adam Symson has thrown their way.

I wonder how much Scripps had to pay for this incredible product placement??

Imagine it’s the same thing when Scripps did it similarly in the capital of Lexington.

Recent graduate with 16 years of independent/volunteer media experience looking for advice on breaking into a small market

0 Upvotes

Hi, I am a non-traditional recent graduate from a top-tier broadcasting school in the Northeast with over a decade and a half of volunteer Air broadcasting Experience.

I was applying to internships left and right both near the campus and in my hometown, and despite being very qualified and even overqualified, I was being completely rejected for every single internship that I applied for. Being an applicant with AuDHD, I knew what challenges that would entail.

Just before, during, and right after graduating from my previous college, I have been applying to internships in my home city, which is in a top-tier market. However, my school is also a top tier school and many students in my school get internships in my city. However, I was applying for non-broadcast and non market internships as well. I also have been applying for internships in small to medium markets as well. 

Over the last several months, I have been applying to many jobs, mainly meteorology, and MMJ positions, however because I have many years of production experience due to making and editing my own YouTube videos, as well as being the camera person for my Campus TV station, in addition to being one of the on Air meteorologist I am also open and have been applying for production related roles as I have many skills that the broadcasting industry needs. 

Being from a large city, and having lived in the country, I definitely choose living in the country over a large city as it is much less overwhelming, affordable, friendly and tranquil.

I started broadcasting back in 2010 and the broadcasting position that I started back in 2010 I still due to this very day where once a week I would make a weather forecast by through looking up computer models typing up a script and then call  the producer, and I would leave him a voicemail and he would air my forecast overnight. 

In addition, I’ve been doing weather forecast on YouTube since 2011 and live streaming during severe weather events in hurricane since 2018 where my first live stream ever was for the landfall of hurricane Michael in Mexico Beach. 

And right now, I am working on getting my Meteorology certificate from an online program and I have about two years left in my program. I am open to working as a entry-level meteorologist, MMJ, or in production in an entry-level market while I continue working on my degree, in fact I actually prefer it. 

Also, my career coach from my University took a look at my reels, my résumé, and cover letter, and told me that they were all industry standard.

Also, my application process has been improving, and I know I can keep only improving and get better and better as time goes on.
