The 1. 0 participants, who were selected from thousands of applicants, began their orientation last week. Throughout the year, the associates will learn first- hand the different news room roles and responsibilities, acquire editorial judgment, develop story- telling skills and gain experience both in the field and studio shooting footage and editing and writing stories. Each associate will be matched with a senior- level mentor at his or her assigned station who will help guide the associate throughout the year. At the end of the program, the real- world experience the associate gains will help position him or her for available entry- level news room jobs at the 1. NBC- owned stations. In addition to the News Associates program, NBC Owned Television Stations is also introducing a new Reporter Training program aimed at developing talented young journalists from diverse backgrounds to become great television reporters.
The station group will be recruiting for four positions – one each at its Dallas- Fort Worth, Washington, D. C., Miami and San Diego stations – to attract television or digital journalists early in their careers or experienced print journalists interested in transitioning to television as on- air reporters. The program, which will start in January, will include a significant investment in training and coaching to equip the selected participants with the skills necessary to develop into successful television reporters. At the end of the program, the selected participants are expected to be prepared for reporter roles in NBC’s 1. Los Angeles and New York. Several organizations representing journalists from ethnically diverse backgrounds applauded the development programs.“We salute NBC for taking the initiative to train talented students from diverse backgrounds in areas in which there is a significant lack of diversity,” said Gregory Lee, Jr., President of the National Association of Black Journalists.
