n most cases, you may start work in an entry position relevant to your field before becoming a presenter. You can begin as a local news reporter as you advance your skills. You may also start as a TV children’s presenter before being exposed to broader roles. Whichever the position, search for opportunities that expose you on air, such as covering for a presenter who’s absent or participating in panel interviews. Being an active member of a professional association exposes you to many people in your industry, giving you a chance to network and learn from the best in the field. Also, these bodies often organise conferences and events, which are great for you to stay updated with current trends and issues in your field.
