Different Job roles in the Print Based Media
A Publisher
The publisher has the job role of making sure that the full magazine or newspaper is laid out in the right way, including the information inside to make sure this is appropriate for the sharing to the public. The publisher is within the main responsibility of all of the content throughout the final product. The publishers are sent the final copy of the newspaper in order to read over and make sure that this is correct in order t distribute to the public.
Researcher
The job role of the research is there to make sure the research has been carried out on the stories and the news reports to make sure the writers have the right information to follow on the story making on the reports. The researcher is there to gain information into the case of the reported news, in order to save the writer time when finding this information. The information will include the researching of the location of the incident, the background and history of the people involved within the case and the crime, and also the supporting research, which could have been found along the way. The job role of the researcher is the key part of the magazines and newspapers production, as they are the key of source of the research information inputted within a story. This is the role, which is used to find the information to the background of the story and the structure.
Journalist
The journalist is the job role within the publishing industry, which plays an important role of the making of a newspaper; this is the most important factor within the industry. The journalist is someone who finds out the news in order for this to be written up or broadcaster by newspapers, magazines and also to be shown on TV. The journalist is there to find out the information about news, which has broken out within the world and the country, no matter what size of the company or the newspaper. This is the role of which the journalist prepares the information, which is going to be shown, written and broadcaster to the public. Without this role, newspapers and magazine would not exist due to the lack of information gathered.
Copywriter
The job role of a copywriter is someone who is working within the publishing company, who is charge of the writing of the advertisements for anything, which needs to be promoted. This role includes the use of persuasive writing, which is put into an advertisement in order to gain the right attention onto a service or a product from the public. This is seen as a good skill as the use of words and writing is used in order to become persuasive towards a member of the public, via reading the advertisement and promotion itself.
My Career Path witnin the Print Based Media
My chosen career path in the future would be the job role of
journalism within the print based media. Within the role of a journalist I wish
to research in order to contribute with stories and information to input within
successful newspapers and magazines, whether this be gossip information or new
reporting articles. In this role it contains the work of researching, writing,
editing, proofreading, article writing, features and also filing news stories,
these are all the job roles within the print based media which goes into the
running and working of a print based media journalist, as this helps with the
making of newspapers and magazines. These are range of job roles which I would
need to undertake within the development of pursuing my journalise career in
the future.
Skills Gaps
In order to become a good journalist, you must have the
right skills in order to do this as this is something, which must not be
complicated due to the lack of skill in order to work as a successful
journalist. A journalists role is to write and compose stories within the
capturing of news stories, in order to do this a journalist must be good a
writing. As I have completed my GCSE’s within both English Language and English
Literature, I gain to have a broad mind on both writing and reading, this is a
big advantage as this will help within my journey within the journalist field
and to become one. However in order to achieve this skill to the max, I think
reading and training within a degree in journalism and English is something I should
pursue in order to gain the skills in order to fill in the gaps on my lack of
development. For this I will achieve the best training in order to become a
good journalist. Something, which also would be beneficial, would be to mirror
and work along side a journalist within a newspaper firm in order to see what
is needed of me when training and working as a journalist.
