Getting On-Air: The Fast Track to a TV News Career

0/5 ( ratings)

Getting a job as a TV news reporter or anchor is a "dream job" that feels so far out of reach for many people thinking about entering the industry. There's a lot of good-looking people competing for so few jobs. That's the way it looks from the outside. But the key to "Getting On-Air" is knowing how things operate from the inside. Raymond J Brune is a four-time Emmy award-winning news producer who's discovered countless reporters and anchors for the broadcast networks, local stations, cable networks and web outlets. Ray's resume includes jobs as Executive Producer of "Good Morning America" and "World News Now", Vice President of News for E! Networks and VP & GM of Fox Sports, and creator and showrunner of Los Angeles' "KTLA Morning News". He even produced Jerry Springer when both were starting their TV careers in Cincinnati. Ray knows how to find fresh news talent. And he know how to get you "found". In his book, "Getting On-Air - The Fast Track to a TV News Career", Ray reveals the steps you must take to create a compelling resume reel - no matter where you live - big city or small town. That reel is your ticket to the on-air ride of a lifetime - the hair-on-fire, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, breaking news world of TV journalism. Once you've got the reel, Ray shows you how to get it seen by News Directors and producers - get in their office, and ultimately, get on the air. You don't need supermodel good looks or a fancy agent. You need contacts - Ray shows you how to make 'em. You need the right attitude - Ray ignites your passion. And your most important asset is your determination - Ray shows you how he got in the door and the secrets others have used to do the same. Ray's the guy who discovered Giuliana Rancic and Chris Harrison. The first time Anderson Cooper and Robin Roberts sat in anchor chairs, Ray was the producer in the control room. What can he do for you?
