The New York State Broadcasters Association is proud to launch a new career outreach website titled “Tell Your New York Story.” The website is a resource to educate college students about working in local radio and TV throughout New York State.
It is broken down into several career paths: audio, video, content production, advertising, engineering, and multiplatform. Each page includes detailed information about each career, videos from people in the industry describing their work, and a list of skills that are helpful to have.
The website lists all potential jobs that are available in broadcasting throughout New York State. It also connects to websites that list jobs in broadcasting across the country.
Many local broadcast stations have an internship program where they hire interns directly. To help stations recruit interns, there is also an internship page that allows a student to upload their resume and find a link to a form where students can indicate their preference for the type of job and the location of a potential internship. The data creates a pool of potential candidates, which will be sent to member stations throughout the state.
We plan on running a social media campaign that includes the videos on the website that we received from broadcasters.
Thank you to the Futures Committee who helped make this exciting project possible. Also, a special thank you to those broadcasters who submitted their stories.
