We create stories, craft words together on a daily basis, and some of it might actually border on artistic. And we never have to face the same thing every day. We re doing different stories, not working on the same project. For those of us who are reporters, we get outside and interact with the community we cover. We tell people what s going on in the world.
TV news is perfect for people who want nothing else but an all-consuming career.
It flares passions, strokes egos and dashes hopes, all at the same time. If you enjoy excitement and disappointment in the same day, maybe even in the same hour, if you enjoy the thrill of knowing when the red light goes on, you re taking part in something that s still important to masses of people, then stay in TV news. If you re young enough to remember thinking of doing something other than this, or if you think we re all insane, by all means, do something else.
