Some broadcast considerations:

Your resume tape is essential in finding a reporter job, anchor job, weather job, entertainment job or sports job.  Journalism is a very competitive field.  And getting that first tv job can be tough. 

But broadcast journalism has always be difficult to get into unless your understand the industry.  There are hundreds of people with demo tapes searching for the same jobs in journalism.  Just being a  great journalist is not enough in finding media jobs.  You must have a great news resume tape or entertainment resume tape depending on you area of specialization. 

Remember, the hiring source does not know you, they only know what they see on the resume tape.  Broadcast jobs in broadcast journalism require a solid anchor resume tape, news tape, weather resume tape, news resume tape, media resume tape, reporting resume tape, media file or whatever you want to call a tape or DVD that represents your on-air talents.  It is very unlikely you will just be able to "talk your way" into a real on-air position with out a resume tape.

And you must think about your area of specialization.  Reporter jobs requires a reporter resume tape.  A sports job calls for a sports resume tape.  A weather job you need a weather resume tape or a meteorologist resume tape.  A on air anchor job requires a anchor resume tape.  And an entertainment job calls for that special entertainment resume tape.  So knowing what you want to do for a career is just as important as the news tape itself.  Putting a "little bit of everything" on you demo tape will actually hurt your chances of landing a job.

Not everyone has the opportunity to go to a top journalism school or broadcasting school in order to get  on-air television job.  And attending elite broadcasting schools is no guarantee of a on-air tv job.   TV jobs require more than just "book smarts."   TV positions require the "hands on skills" to do it all.  This means knowing how to write, edit, shoot, report, produce in television journalism.  If you have these skills, and have a great resume tape, journalism jobs and other related communications jobs will be much easier to find.
