After completing graduate school and obtaining my masters degree in Media Journalism I would like to secure a job in the entertainment industry. Entertainment has always been a big part of my life ever since I was about 6-years old, and has always been my passion.
I always wanted to know if I could write but didn’t quite know a publication that I could practice my craft at until I came across the Dorchester Community Newspaper which is a free paper circulated throughout Dorchester and surrounding communities. Back in 2003 I decided to volunteer and became a freelance writer for the newspaper.
Since I loved music and entertainment so much I decided to try my hand at writing, and so I started writing the music section for the Dorchester Community Newspaper. I basically covered stories on upcoming artists, music reviews, any information that would the reader would want to know about the artist in general.
I enjoyed writing so much I decided to write for an online newspaper called the examiner.com. It is covered in 51 states, and covers a variety of topics that may interest their readers. My Ideal job would be to work for news station covering all types of stories glamour, style, and entertainment. The requirements for this position consist of having editorial skills, be able to multi-task in a fast-paced environment.
Coordinate with news producers, assignment desks, and crews are very important aspects of getting assignments done in a timely manner. The job also requires you to have strong writing skills that involve copy-editing, and excellent computer skills including basic knowledge of keyboard shortcuts.
You must also be able to engage in the social networks Facebook and Twitter. You are also required to type blogs have knowledge of HTML tags, and have knowledge of Photoshop and Final Cut Pro which are photo and video editing programs used today. Posting of news in a timely manner is very important, be able to troubleshoot whenever necessary and maintain high editorial standards while successfully doing the job.
