Heck no. When I first did media I didn't understand the business.
Took a few years off, realized I like behind the scenes.
I work both night and day side depending on the day. Manage about 7 reporters and 8 ibew photogs. Get to assign them based on guidance from the bosses, then we move them around as news breaks etc. Spend a lot of time on police scanners, phones, working leads, confirming information. It's pretty much the job I wanted a few years ago but didn't know it. Oh well, I found it now!
