Well, it’s the news business...
|
|
Great place to learn many aspects of the news industry.
|
The news business doesn’t pay well compared to other video related jobs in the area.

Good people make for good news shows. The shrinking of the industry might be keeping profits up but is ultimately a race to the bottom.

KOMO has ton of great people, a collaborative environment that supports new ideas, and a great sense of community.
|
They're now owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, a company that has some annoying demands and a very different set of values than those held by the KOMO team.

Better than Average
|
|
Generally great co-workers with an honest desire to do good work and serve the public. Helpful atmosphere where learning is encouraged. Decent benefits. Good location and nice physical plant.
|
Forced turnover every few years with cost-cutting measures by parent company; bad for morale and has led to a brain drain. Field crews asked to consistently increase number of daily tasks with little understanding by management of what that entails.

Need to gain a better understanding of what tasks you're asking employees to complete and what that entails. Need to nurture younger staff so they have ability to grow within their positions as well as hiring more seasoned people to bring higher level of performance

Was able to actually help put stories on the air
No coffee runs, actual research and calling sources
Was able to get to know lots of reporters, photogs and producers. Even was able to speak often with the news director.
|
The internship doesn't exist anymore
Getting clips to put on my reel was last-minute, and wasn't a lot

Great Internship Experience
|
|
The amount and potential to learn in the KOMO environment is unexplainable. It was a wonderful experience full of new opportunities. Each day was different and allowed for a college student & intern to really understand the debt of the industry in general, as well as a typical day in the life of a full-time employee at KOMO.
|
The fast-paced environment made it difficult at times to be in constant contact with advisor for new tasks and projects.

Once a great TV station to work for with good leadership and talented people.
|
|
Great people to work with, even in trying times of an ownership change. Everyone works hard and KOMO always has had fewer resources than the other two big stations in town. It is like a big family. KOMO has always been very agile since the ownership was in the same building.
|
KOMO TV was once a great company to work for…lots of talented, passionate, committed professionals making good television. It has now shifted to a cookie cutter model driven by east coast business people who have no connection to the Northwest. The good people remain, but the soul has been taken out of the station. Executive management got their bonuses thru the sale of the company. Sinclair seems to run the stations as small stations, even though Seattle is their largest market. So many people were laid off after the ownership change. Probably more layoffs coming in 2014. Sinclair likes to cut 20% of the labor force. Pay is lower for most employees behind the scenes than the other 2 big stations in town.

It was the former executive management team that drove Fisher Broadcasting into the ground. It is unfortunate, but you could see the end coming for years. Sinclair management needs to realize that the processes and competencies at KOMO are farther advanced than many of the current Sinclair processes.
