How to start your own news broadcasting video podcast station online & compete with Chelsea Clinton

If you majored in history and then obtained a masters degree in public health at any given accredited university, your chances of finding a job in journalism would be slim because you'd be competing against hundreds of other journalism, communications, public health, and public history graduates from universities all over the globe...unless you were well connected.

Your chances of getting a TV news job would be one in a million...unless you were related to someone important and frequently in the news? What really are the chances for thousands of journalism, history, and public health graduates to get a job in the national media working with topics related to 'culture' or health or special correspondence? Well, not for Chelsea Clinton. The former Presidents daughter had no problem landing a job as a full-time special correspondent.

Does that mean that you have to be related to someone with an important job with media presence to get a job? Or did she get the job based on her achievements, her connections, or her family history? It would be great to find the statistics of what chances you'd have with a similar set of college degrees if you knew no one and had no parents....For example if you aged out of the foster home system.

Or maybe if you were the child of average wage earners in Sacramento? What do you think the statistics would be of your chances of landing a similar job on a permanent basis?

NBC News just hired Chelsea Clinton, age 31 as a full-time special correspondent. Do you have to be a First Daughter to get a job nowadays as a special correspondent on a full-time basis?

Chelsea Clinton now will be the special correspondent for 'Making a Difference' which is a news series on NBC Nightly News. Steve Capus, the president of NBC News, officially announced Clinton's appointment as a special reporter on Monday, November 14.

What if you earned the same set of degrees from the same universities? Clinton earned her bachelor's degree in history from Stanford University and her master's in public health from Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia.

Now compare what jobs the other 99% of graduates in history from Stanford or Columbia with a public health major of the same age, 31 are doing nowadays. How many are working in journalism? How many are in public relations?

How many are in public health? And how many are historians, curators, or teaching history or history of public health in the US or abroad? Are most of these graduates working in a field related to their major? Would they have landed a more major-related job with a major in journalism or communications or in history or public health?

Many public health majors nowadays are not finding so many job openings and are back in school--medical school vying for a D.O or M.D. to find work because so few jobs are open to majors in history or public health without further specialization and internships. Chelsea did work in various internships and jobs after college.

For others in their thirties, many history majors and public health majors have a hard time finding work and have to move back with their parents. Others who can't afford medical school are working in retail sales or other fields, and some are freelance writers. For journalism majors or TV communications students, the competition gets even keener to find permanent, full-time work related to the college major.

Watch Chelsea Clinton report the news on NBC TV working with Brian Williams, according to NYDailyNews. Clinton will join the news desk today, November 14, 2011. This is a permanent job, not a one-time appearance.

This event will also be recorded in American history. Much success, Chelsea, in reporting the news. Are there any other ways for the average person with no connections or family in politics or journalism to break into the media? How does the average communicator in Sacramento find a job reporting the news on TV?

You can have your own TV news show on cable or public access, for starters, if you offer to buy TV informercial space or compete for a reality news show. But what can you do for free or at low cost? You can start your own video podcast news show on the Web and publicize it on Twitter and Facebook. Since no one pays you, getting businesses to advertise or publicizing other companies is one way to earn money for your efforts.

One way to start a communications and news career is to upload your original news video podcasts on the Web at a relatively low cost. At least you get to broadcast the news for no pay unless you sell advertising on your video podcast (vodcast). But it's one way to start a career in media and culture. Just specialize and form your brand with a niche interest audience if you've researched the need for what you're communicating as information.
