(Narrator) Questions below refer to the following talk about reporter career choices.
(Woman) For those of you who dream of a career in the news profession, the opportunities are numerous. In
the past decade, the job market for news reporters, editors, and investigators has been competitive, and as a
general rule, there has been much demand for reporters in business and financial news. Unfortunately, oppor-
tunities for sports writers have not been as plentiful and are not likely to be so for a few more years. Before
you set out to approach chief editors of specific papers, you should keep in mind that copy editors have been
in far greater demand than either assignment reporters or professionals with skills in specialized areas, such as law
and science. An important rule for all those who seek employment in the newspaper business is that your writ-
ing and reporting skills are never too good, and you need to work to improve them, even if you already have
a job.
Jobs in magazine writing and journalism have not fared as well as those in the newspaper area because most
magazines have cut their staffs. This means there may be an oversupply of trained and experienced magazine
writers already, and magazines may be a difficult area for a new person to break into. Similarly, things are
tight in broadcast journalism. Many radio and local T.V. stations have decided not to expand their reporting
efforts, and the demand in radio and T.V. journalism has been sluggish. However, one new development in
T.V. journalism is that currently many large-market stations have undertaken to run two-hour newscasts that
have given prominence to local news on the national networks and stations. The expansion of the news for-
mat may translate into openings in this segment of the market.
