22 Things in 22 Years
Alan Sealls, WKRG-TV, Mobile, AL
Weather broadcasting, like the TV industry, is changing in ways that were not foreseen a decade ago. Salaries are down and workloads are up. With job security perhaps at an all-time low we look at 22 tips and lessons learned from 22 years in broadcast meteorology. How to gain a following. Planning for career cycles. Investing in yourself. Dealing with weather disaster and job disaster. Showing the viewers things they've never seen before. Interacting with your community and making yourself known. Being the science expert.
Through personal experience and observation these are just some of the 22 topics we'll explore in a humorous PowerPoint and DVD presentation.
