Publishing, Broadcasting and Communications Pathway
Why Choose A Career in Publishing, Broadcasting and Communications?
Think breaking news, the first on the scene to report a story on live television. Think about working as a foreign correspondent and sharing the news with Americans back home. Think about seeing your byline in a local newspaper.
Think about the technical side of a newsroom and keeping the machines – whether they are computers, printing presses or audio/visual equipment – properly working.
If you choose the Publishing, Broadcasting and Communications pathway you could find yourself traveling the world, working under pressure with daily deadlines and finding ways to get more people interested in news.
If your favorite television program is CNN and you can’t go even a day without reading the newspaper then this could be the pathway for you.
Are you interested in writing and reporting? Do you like to stay on top of current issues and events? Are you a skilled proofreader able to catch grammatical mistakes? Would you like to work quietly in the background to keep the technical operations running smoothly?
Then consider a career as a reporter, proofreader or copy editor, television news producer or a communications equipment operator. Still not sure? Not to worry as there are more jobs focused on Publishing, Broadcasting and Communications.
