A Guide to Surviving--And Changing--The TV News Industry

Beschreibung

An Unfiltered Playbook for Broadcast Journalism A candid, practical guide to surviving--and changing--the TV news industry. Former meteorologist Caitlin Connell exposes the sexism, ageism, and burnout hidden behind the lights while equipping aspiring and current on-air professionals with tools to thrive in broadcast journalism and beyond. Working in TV news looks glamorous--until you're living it. From viewer scrutiny to social media pile-ons, from the "look" factor to relentless schedules, the pressure can be crushing. Drawing on firsthand experience, Connell reveals what really happens in newsrooms and why so many talented women are pushed off the air long before their prime. This is not a memoir--it's an unfiltered field guide from a former on-air meteorologist turned industry advocate. Connell maps the real pathway into broadcast journalism (internships, first jobs, low pay), names the patterns (gender bias, ageism, harassment), and offers step-by-step strategies for protecting your mental health, building leverage, and driving newsroom change in a digital-first era. Inside, you'll find: * How to land and level up a broadcast journalism job without losing yourself to "the look" * Tactics to handle online harassment, boundary-setting, and hostile viewer feedback * A playbook for advocacy: negotiating fair treatment, fostering representation, and choosing when to stay--or walk away If you liked Newsroom Confidential, No Ordinary Assignment, or The View from Somewhere, you'll love Men Are Meteorologists, Women Are Weather Girls .
