Television

Profession

Television is a significant part of our culture. Even those who grew up in the era of the popularity of the Internet and YouTube know the main channels and watch the most interesting TV programs. Television is still the world's most popular source of information. Most future journalists dream of working on TV. But most professionals actually remain behind the scenes, and the audience does not even think that they see the result of their work. Working on television is fundamentally different from working as a journalist in a newspaper or on the radio because “television is a team effort.” Only by working in a team, you can release high-quality material — for it to go on the air, it takes a lot of work of correspondents, cameramen, lighting, directors and sound engineers.
