The thing about this job, it feels like anybody can do it. Truth is, anybody can attempt it. But to really do it & excel at it, you not only get properly trained for it, you have to GROW into it. There are things LIFE has to teach you. Those lessons make you a matured broadcaster

But with a huge platform comes a huge responsibility. Hubris has no place here.
The danger is when that platform stops them from learning.

With new media comes new audiences and new approach to the way we do our jobs. But no matter the medium, there are principles that remain the same. No matter what your personal broadcasting style is, the basics don't change.
Question is, how many lovely voices we hurriedly put on air did we take time to teach the basics?
How many broadcast veterans bother to teach and mentor these young ones?
We can complain about them or we can choose to raise them to be better.
