Learn TV From The Inside

I’ll be blogging again tonight. In the meantime, have you enrolled in mediabistro’s television classes yet?:

> Writing for TV News: “What if you could not only use words, but video, to tell a compelling story? Writing a newspaper story or magazine article is very different than writing for television. As a TV newswriter you do more than just write. Among other things, you are reporting, compiling video, and logging sound-bites. Whether you are interested in making a career switch from print or radio into TV, or if you just want to learn what it takes to be TV news writer, this class will give you an overview.” Sunday, Dec. 11 in Hollywood — click here for details.

> A Walking Tour of TV: A Business Guide for Beginners: “Television may be a business for creative people, but it is — first and foremost — a business. And too often, aspiring writers, producers, and executives fail not because they lack talent or creativity, but because they don’t fully understand the business they’re trying to infiltrate. This seminar not only takes its participants on a guided tour of TV’s intricate network/studio system, it arms students with the knowledge and information necessary to navigate that world on their own.” Wednesday, Oct. 26 in Beverly Hills — click here for details.
