VETERAN ANCHOR/REPORTER CREATES MENTORING WEBSITE

Aspiring broadcast journalists now have a place to go for help to get them started in the profession or get them to the next job or just to improve their “game”.

Veteran TV reporter and anchor Ross Becker has created www.TVNewsmentor.com and he is ready to be a “coach” to anyone who is looking for an edge to get into the business or move up the ladder.

“Some people get lucky and fine someone willing to spend the time to help them, but most people are not”, said Becker. Many students and young broadcast journalists just don’t know where to begin with a job search or how to improve their skills to get them to the next level.

“I had some great mentors and I want to make sure I can pass along what I have learned so far,” says Becker.

The site includes a weekly tip, Ross’ Blog and scores of great resource websites to help anyone in the profession.

Becker is an award winning, 30 year broadcast news veteran living and working in Las Vegas. He began career in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He has worked in Indianapolis and Los Angeles. In 2001, he was an anchor for MSNBC based in New York.

Becker has 14 L.A. area Emmy nominations and 4 Emmys. One of them for the “live” coverage of the Reginald Denny beating that sparked the L.A riots.

Ross was also the first journalist to conduct an open and unscripted interview with O.J. Simpson following his acquittal on murder charges.
