News offers significant opportunities for advancement, with many staff rising quickly into senior editorial, on-camera, or managerial roles. Team members also have the ability to publish written reports under their own byline to build their reputation and personal brand, while benefiting from mentorship and collaboration with experienced journalists, editors and producers. I have good writing skills and I trive working on my own.
I also love watching Rebel News reports. Evenings are when I work best. But it's too late now since I'm retired.
