Vantaggi
Good if you want to experience being a TV reporter. The reporting work itself is pretty standard and manageable.
Svantaggi
- Management is very indecisive. Priorities change often, and decision-making isn't great. - I didn't feel like I learned much because the day-to-day work was quite repetitive. Since the TV station isn't focused on news, there are only a few news slots, so a lot of the stories you work hard on never actually air. It gets pretty demotivating. - The editorial team often leaves the field team to deal with administrative issues. There were multiple occasions where they forgot to register for events, then asked reporters to contact organizers and somehow convince them to let us in after registration had already closed. That should've been handled by the desk, not reporters. - Sometimes the desk would ask us to cover events but hadn't even done basic research beforehand, so reporters ended up fixing problems that could've been avoided with better planning. - The work culture wasn't very professional. Gossiping about coworkers, unnecessary drama, and random yelling were often brushed off as "that's just media culture." creating a lot of unnecessary stress.
