Career Perspectives In Electronic Media

By Orlik and Peter B. Orlik

Career Perspectives in Electronic Media offers a focused, comprehensive occupational guide that covers job roles throughout the electronic media. Professor Orlik also addresses the industry issues, structures and challenges faced by today's electronic media professionals. The most exceptional aspect of this book consists of profiles written by working professionals that characterize the duties, skills, pleasures and drawbacks associated with their jobs. These conversational profiles-nearly 50 in all-help to further illuminate the issues and operations discussed in the text. Yet another helpful feature of this contemporary text is the 100 career-launching tips provided by additional practitioners representing ten general career areas. Coverage of job functions includes: Performance and conceptual positions. Production functions. Sales roles. Directive functions. Evaluative functions. Career Perspectives in Electronic Media can be useful at the beginning or at the end of the student's program-as the ideal second text for an introductory course sequence or as the provocative primary text in a senior-level capstone course in which students assess their skills and seek to match them with careers.
