I was wondering how does someone become a television producer? What kind of education do you need? Experience? Specifically, if you want to work for major networks like CBS, ABC or NBC and handle their primetime or daytime division or start your own production company. What advice would you give to help someone accumulate the proper experience and skills? And prime themselves for a career in television production? Thank you in advance.

I'm just doing a little reading on career descriptions online. I was somewhat interested in some of the jobs which have to do with broadcasting, like Segment Producers for MLB. I was wondering if anyone with experience in a job like this could describe/tell me what the working environment is like.

Let's say you worked at the UN war crime tribunal as a broadcasting director for a year and you're interested in working for a large news organization like CNN or the BBC as a producer or director. Is that a big asset if you ever apply?

I don't really know what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I'm interested in working in broadcast journalism/ writing for a magazine / working in tv shows as producer, writer, etc... I'm aware that in these types of fields one should gather a lot of experience through internships, and I expect to do that. Is there any major that will allow me to "dabble" in all of the above while I explore what I really want to focus on?

How many Fox News producers will have to be fired to satisfy the liberals? The heliciopter video was on a 5 second delay, the anchor was shouting to cut it off, but it went on the air anyway. How is this worse than NBC intentionally editing the Zimmerman 911 call?

My mom keeps telling me that I should pursue another career (ie Science) for more high-paying jobs, but I'm definitely more interested in the liberal arts and such.
