Wonder what a videojournalist does? Here's an actual job description from a current help-wanted posting for a Texas media outlet:Responsibilities include: Strong reporting skills and solid news writing. Skilled digital news photographer and familiarity with non-linear editing.
Requirements: Prior experience in a television news environment. DVC-Pro and professional non-linear editing equipment operation knowledge and experience preferred. Required to work weekends, holidays, and evenings as necessary. Be able to work under deadline pressures. Must be able to lift and/or carry and manage news photography and lighting equipment.
In short, you've got to be able to do the work of five people: report, write, shoot, edit -- and shlep. And never stop.
Welcome to 2009!
