The evolution of the broadcast landscape over the last few years has led to exciting innovation and change. We recognise that some of this change has led to traditionally trained News & Feature Programme Editors, Producers and Contributors looking to evolve their careers, either within the broadcast environment or branching into the wider communications world.
With this in mind, we’re interested in talking to Broadcast News Editors or Producers who are now considering taking on a new challenge in the New Year. Those who are keen to transfer their years of editorial knowledge into a fresh environment, where their skills will be fundamental to success.
If you’re interested in having an initial chat – even to just learn about options available outside of a traditional broadcast journalism – please get in touch. We would love to chat.
