To piggy back, I’m a photographer in a 30s market, and just turned 23. This is my 3rd job in TV news (all voluntary moves). They seem to really take a liking to younger hires because:

• they can get away with paying us less
• we’re more willing to move
• we’re more in tune with newer technologies/social media
• they’re slowly discovering they need fresh perspectives
• some higher-ups are more keen on giving young’ns a chance; in other words, some understand the paradox of “you need experience to get this entry level job”

I’ve worked in markets where +/- one-third of a station was laid off, mostly because their wages were too high, they worked there too long, stuff like that. Big reason why unions in journalism are coming back in style.

Also, /u/tault002, PM me! I used to work with another former KOIN person!

TIL: origami is an okay replacement for going to the gym.

Thank you for the answer! That's pretty cool!

Why is searching the sky with radio such a prevalent method? What other methods should we be on the lookout for?
