  1. Newscaster Devyn Robinson 10/6/11 5th hour Career/Technology Foundations.

  2. Introduction • “Being an anchor is not just a matter of sitting in front of a camera and looking pretty.”David Brinkley. I was interested in the career of being a newscaster because I love to speak. I also think it would be fun to be on T.V., even if it was just the Channel 4 news at 11. I think it would be awesome for people to know who I am and to be able to listen to me speak about what is going on in the city or world. I’ll be researching the job salary, what I would do while I work and the training I’ll need for it. In order to get a better understanding of my career choice, I need to research how to write stories, how to not get upset if I’m reporting on something sad and how to actually find my job.

  3. Nature of Work • Newscasters interpret, examine and broadcast news received from various sources. • Present the story, introduce pre-recorded news or live reports from reporters on the scene. • News correspondents talk about the news going on all over the United States. • Newscasters also specialize in other types on news like sports or weather. • Reporters on small publications cover all aspects of the news.

  4. Working Conditions • Work is usually hectic and crazy. • Usually under great pressure. • Broadcasts sometimes are aired with little or no time for preparation • Some work places are very calm and quiet.

  5. Training, Qualifications, Advancement • Bachelor’s degree in journalism or mass communications. • University of Arizona or Michigan State University. • T.V./ radio broadcasting, public speaking and possibly journalism.

  6. Job Outlook/ Employment • Decline moderately through 2018. • Tough competition for the metropolitan area. • Jobs will be best for people working online. • Freelancing will supply more opportunities for employment.

  7. Earnings • Broadcast news analysts median: $88,630. • Higher 10%: more than $156,200. • Lower 10%: less than $23,470. • News analysts, reporters, and correspondents vary.

  8. Related Occupations Teacher • Elementary school teachers average $52,240. • Depending on where you live, jobs could be high or low. • 4.5 million jobs for teachers in 2008. • Increase in jobs through 2018.

  9. Summary • In conclusion, I am very excited to start to work as a newscaster. One thing I look forward to the most would have to be sitting at the desk and reading off the teleprompter. I will love to speak to a whole metropolitan area or the whole country on a show like Nancy Grace. The thing I look forward to the least would have to be the hectic workplace. I like things to be organized and calm. I feel after all of the learning I’ve done that this is the career that is right for me. Despite the obstacles that may come my way I feel confident that I will be successful.
