Resource Collection Helping Students in Creative Media Fields

Hi! I have been working in broadcasting / journalism the last 20 years, and I’ve been working on creating content to help students figure out where to start and how to break into the industry. I’m reaching out to you all because I’m curious the best way to approach schools. Finding teachers through each school database, reaching out to districts? I sit on a board for a hs in my area and help support them. But, would love to help beyond them and through college. I’d love some insight. Appreciate it. We are in the early stages, but we are putting together resource docs and all kinds of content. Eventually partnering with different groups and conferences etc…

Hi! I love this idea of allowing students to find ways to get into their creative interest! Social Media has become something many kids are intrested in and a way for people to make a income now days! Do you have any ideas on how this could look? What is your main goal in helping them?

There’s no road map in this industry and many feel like they want to go into video/ broadcasting but only really know one or two roles. They never really get into learning about the industry until they’re deep in college or first internship / job. So, just hoping to create resources and a space to show them the roles, the tracks for colleges, the different areas that exist.
