Where to Search for Broadcasting Jobs in the 21st Century

We are already at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and radio, TV and Internet broadcasting jobs have not become extinct. Some say that there will be fewer available radio and TV broadcasting jobs throughout the next decade, however others disagree. 

With the push for higher education and specialized skills, an education in broadcasting is highly valued. So what does one do with a broadcasting education? Where should recent graduates go to find the best broadcasting jobs in the United States and beyond? 

Broadcasting schools and journalism departments all have job placement resources for upcoming graduates and new graduates. However, if these leads are not enough or do not offer the type of job graduates want, there are other resources. Current newspapers and the Website Current.org have updated job boards listing the most current broadcasting jobs including broadcasting management, production, programming, marketing and development.  

Looking to transfer or experience another type of broadcasting job? Search the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Website for television or radio jobs by state. Browse broadcasting jobs from Alaska to Virginia and everywhere in between for the most suitable work environment. Recently listed broadcasting jobs include news editor, senior accountant, executive web producer, and television station coordinator. Another option is to search a specific public broadcasting network such as NPR, PRI, PBS or American Public Media with broadcasting job opportunities in Minnesota, California and Florida. 

A national job bank for broadcast graduates is CareerPage.org, which lists several types of broadcasting job categories. If you know the specific area in which you want to work, then you can select from administrative, engineering, news, programming, promotions, production, or sales. Each type has both radio and television sub-categories. Additionally, a job seeker can select an individual  state or search all states. A search for Colorado broadcasting jobs garnered a list of eight results posted since March 1, 2009, but results could be found as early as January 1, 2009. Contact information, as well as a job description, is included with each broadcasting job listing. Most jobs require experience in the broadcasting field, so accepting as many broadcasting internships as possible during your education is an advantage. Many times radio and television general managers will accept internships as qualified experience.  

Another place to search for television and radio broadcasting jobs is JournalBroadcastingGroup.com where they accept internship applications as well as corporate, television and radio career opportunity applications. Although the corporate office is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Journal Broadcasting Group has both television and radio markets throughout the country from Alaska to Florida. Many broadcasting jobs are available through this valuable resource. 

Do you speak another language fluently, such as Spanish? There is a growing market for Spanish speaking radio and television broadcast positions. Several networks across the country have Spanish radio stations (Los Angeles based KLVE 107.5 ) as well as television stations (Univision’s popular KMEX). According to the Washington Post, KMEX has a lead on other popular English news programs. Los Angeles is not the only city that carries Spanish broadcasting news and radio. One can also look to Miami, Florida and North Carolina where there are large populations of Spanish speaking Latinos. Ohio even has its Columbus based WXOL Radio Sol 1550 station with a strong Hispanic following. The market continues to grow for broadcasting jobs in both TV and radio. 

Of course, broadcasting graduates can and should contact their local radio and television broadcast companies for available openings. Even if you are switching from radio broadcasting to TV broadcasting or vice versa, and have work experience, finding local stations is the best place to start searching for broadcasting jobs. Remember to always get a name and business card for future reference and also to give your name and number if you do not have a business card. 

Since many radio and television stations have turned to the Internet to increase their listener base, broadcasting jobs are booming and will likely require additional broadcasting experience online in the coming decades. Use your knowledge and background to build your resume as well as your confidence in locating the most suitable broadcasting job in the 21st century.

Disasters of the Century – Episode 15 – When Laughter Turns to Tears

Disasters of the Century – Episode 15 – When Laughter Turns to Tears

The Hartford Circus Fire: In 1944, as the Second World War was coming to a close, travelling circuses were still a major form of entertainment in America. On July 6, 1944, the Ringling Brothers Circus came to Hartford, Connecticut. During the afternoon show the main tent, packed with children and women, began to burn. The canvas tent, waterproofed with paraffin and kerosene, went up in a terrifying rush of flame. The performers, warned by the orchestra, escaped in time, but 168 of the hundreds of circus goers died in the ensuing inferno. Most of the victims were children. The Ringling Brothers began to make their tents out of flame-retardant material after the fire. Even so, the outrage following the fire effectively ended the big top era. The Knickerbocker Theatre Collapse: In late January 1922, a winter storm dumped huge amounts of snow on Washington, D.C. Nonetheless, 400 people struggled through the lousy weather to attend a concert at the Knickerbocker Theatre on January 28th. As the conductor raised his baton, he felt a light dusting of plaster fall on his head and shoulders. Seconds later, the north wall cracked open and the roof collapsed. 95 people were killed and at least 100 injured. The accident was traced to inadequacies in design and construction combined with the added weight of the snow. The storm, which came to be known as the “Knickerbocker Storm,” is still on record as the worst weather event in Washington’s history

18th Century Charm; Just a Stone’s Throw From Washington D.c

April 1st, 2010
No Comments »

Even though it’s only six miles from downtown Washington, the independent city of Alexandria possesses a charm that starkly contrasts the nationâ??s bustling Capital. Populated mainly by professionals working in DC, the downtown area of Alexandria is known as the â??Old Townâ?? and features many original buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries; attracting visitors with a love of American history in their droves.

First settled in 1695, the town of Alexandria was named in honour of the Alexander family who donated the land on which the city is built. Incorporated in 1779, many of the city̢??s original buildings still stand today providing a beautiful historic backdrop to its illustrious metropolitan neighbour. Alexandria is home to the George Washington Masonic Temple ̢?? which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2010 Рand also boasts some of the finest waterfront scenery in the north-eastern USA.

Because of its proximity to Washington DC and as it is one of the USA̢??s oldest settlements, the city has witnessed its fair share of historical events. During the War of 1812 British sailors looted Alexandria of flour, wine, tobacco and cotton after it had surrendered without a fight; the looting being a condition of the bloodless coup. There is also a less dubious claim to fame for the city; for eight years during the 1820s it played a pivotal part in the slave trade when the Franklin and Armfield slave market Рone of the largest in the USA Рwas the distribution point for many slaves to Mississippi. The human trading was ended when the market became a prison under occupation by the Union troops in 1830.

Modern-day Alexandria is now home to the US Patent and Trademark office and many of the city̢??s residents work for the US defence department Рthe city̢??s biggest employer. They, like visitors to the city, enjoy easy access to downtown Washington DC and its many attractions via the King Street Metro station. For those wishing to drive around the DC area, it is also easily accessible from Alexandria via I-95.

Despite its historic roots Alexandria still has a modern outlook. It was one of the first cities of its size in the USA to provide free internet access to its residents and visitors, meaning that a stay at a hotel in Alexandria is almost guaranteed to come with free wi-fi.

It is the heady mix of undeniable historical charm and ultra-modern living that attracts many visitors to Alexandria; and with Washington DC so close by its possible to get two fantastic vacations for the price of one.

Internet Radio Networks – Taking Radio Into the 21st Century!

April 1st, 2010
No Comments »

Humanity today has acquired a new habit of entertaining itself. It involves clicking on an ingenious little gadget called the mouse. Thatâ??s right. In this era of the Internet, men and women everywhere are turning to their computers in increasing numbers to be entertained. The proliferation of online technologies, along with improved connectivity, cheaper hardware and increased computer literacy, has propelled the rise in popularity of the Internet in recent times.

Of all the wonderful ways that the Internet has given us to entertain ourselves, Internet radio is an extremely popular one. All one needs is a computer with an Internet connectivity to unleash the most exhaustive range of radio stations on oneâ??s desktop at the click of the mouse. It is interesting to note that Internet radio, however, is not a very novel innovation. In other words, Internet radio networks have been around for quite a while now. It is only recently, with the proliferation of Internet technology and faster connectivity, that the phenomenon called Internet radio has truly come of age. Today, the listener is pampered with a bevy of channels (or stations), catering to specific areas of interest. This is becoming a standard feature of Internet radio networks that serve music online. The listener can tune into any of dozens of stations covering such genres as Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, Indie Rock, Jazz, 80s music, 70s music, Oldies, New Age, Reggae, Country, Latin, Euro, Ambient, Lounge, Progressive, Techno and what not. Hours and hours of uninterrupted music at no cost â?? thatâ??s the magnitude of the entertainment provided by Internet radio networks.

Internet radio networks are on the rise and the reason is not hard to understand. Much of their popularity can be attributed to the huge proliferation of Internet technologies. Among the most popular Internet radio networks are the ones that feature Internet Talk Radio. Streaming talk shows and discussions on a wide range of subjects have made them popular among serious listeners or those who carve for something more than just music from their e-radios. Internet talk radio programs host various talk shows with specialists on different subject matters who anchor the show.

No matter what skeptics might say, radio refuses to go out of fashion. The radio is probably the finest innovation in aural entertainment. Internet radio networks are nothing more than old wine in a new bottle. But, on the other hand, they are also a lot more than just that! While traditional radio broadcasters have often used the Internet to advertise or promote their shows, Internet radio technology has actually revolutionized the concept and simple programming requirements have taken it to the extent where individuals, organizations or anyone for that matter, can easily host their own Internet talk radio station from the comfort of their home.

Internet radio networks like Voice America make it easier to host your own Internet talk radio show. Such Internet radio networks not only provide you with the technology to host your Internet radio show but also give you a complete package of Internet streaming media broadcasting, proven support services in web, marketing, and interactive solutions that help you to make your mark and your presence known to the ever increasing Internet audience.

Step into the exciting world of Internet radio networks. The future of radio is here!
