Lessons On A Deadline

When we think of job perks - it's typically a bonus check...maybe extra vacation days. (Or if you're a budding journalist on a tight salary getting sent to a story where you can get a free meal.) But what about the job perks your boss can't write into your contract? Like the person you interviewed whose story made you pause and reflect. Or that one time you had 6 live shots in 2 hours and learned what you were really made of. During the fast-paced news day of interviews, shooting b-roll, and turning packages the biggest job perks are the life lessons you get while on a deadline.
