All the stations have marked vehicles. KPNX and KPHO have "extemely" marked vehicles. The entire units are wrapped with giant stickers. KPNX is converting to AVID editing.

KPHO has been non-linear since the beginning of the year. A very smooth transition due to the chief editor and her staff, as for the other statoins I believe they are there or close.

No offense, but Phoenix is not a starter photog market. If you just graduated, you should try a smaller market first. 99.9% of the photogs in this town have been shooting for 5+ years and worked in at least one other market.I just graduated from college and I am looking for a job in the Phoenix market. I interned in Cadillac, MI. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about open jobs as photogs or editors and also what stations shoot mostly on sticks or off sticks

What about starting as an editor, like an overnight editor
I know several people that started out as an editor. So yes it can happen. But most of the photographers in Phoenix have worked in other markets. Before I went to Phoenix,I worked in a 150,and 60 market with over fives year behind me. But like I said give it a try,and start knocking on doors. Good luck.

Since this kid asked, please allow me to divert this thread for a moment...
That said, I would strongly suggest you use your sticks whenever possible for at least your first six months. After you get skilled with the sticks, I would suggest you then start seriously developing your shoulder skills.
Now, on the job question, I agree that you need to go to a smaller market first. Starting as an editor in a bigger market is a real gamble. It has been done, but most don't. If you start as an editor, when you make the switch to shooting you'll still be a rookie. It's much better to make your rookie mistakes in a smaller market than a large one. Plus, by the time you get back to the large market level, you'll be making considerably more money than if you start there. In other words, starting smaller gives you more room to grow.
In looking for that first job, the Internet is now one of the best places to find it (other than word of mouth). Most job websites are free, but of the pay sites TVJobs is probably the only one worth the money. Here's a big list of sites with jobs:

Be careful whose computer you're using when you visit that last one; it could lead to embarrassment.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread about Penis, Arizona.
Last things first, most stations don't shoot "mostly on sticks or off sticks." That's usually an individual photographer's preference. You will have a few chiefs who are fanatical about sticks, and you will have a few stations where some idiot consultant convinces the news director that handheld = energy. Those are rare, however. It's usually just up to the photographer, so long as he or she brings back watchable images.Originally posted by azbrianhu:

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. Because of my wife I really need to stay in AZ, so I will check out other cities in AZ. Does anyone know how starting out at a production house translates into going into news.

Tried Tucson? Yuma?

Yes, I'v been e-mailing the Senior Photojournalsit at Yuma and there are no openings, but he said he would put me on file. I haven't really looked at Tucson and I think that there is at least a bureau or station in Flagstaff. Thanks for the tip.

For all you crying photogs that complain about everything and have somthing to say about everyone else and other shops why dont you get a job in some small sleepy market where you belong, because obviously you dont understand todays news. Maybe you can go somwhere else and become POY. NPPA would never look at Phoenix for a POY they dont no how to work day to day, anybody could be POY if they had more than an hour to work on something. Another words shut-up and shoot.

Hey nfocus...I got the message, but that was after wading through more spelling and grammar mistakes than the essay contest for the $100 dollar prize at "Darwin's waiting room.com". Dude...please spell and check that syntax...much love...

Okay you're number one...hooray...I gotta say though, your homework is sloppy. All stations do about the same workload in this market. If it isn't 2 paks, it is a pak...anchor pak on yer own, or multiple vo/bites and a pak. Hard work in the heat is not exclusive to the big, bad first place station. Let me also issue a Pepsi challange to your staff...feel free to compare your stuff to other stations when it airs...I think you'll find the other products are slicker, better composed, and feature overall better storytelling. I'm not bashing 12, afterall we all do pretty much the same workload. I know it's two paks or more a day for you...but don't give me stuff you cannot back up. Great, you are the best in town if given the time and workload of other photogs...but yet I have no evidence of this. The only folks that get more than a couple of hours to do a story are spec projects folks and investigators. Nobody here gets all day to do one thing...it just does not break down like that. You are not in Memphis anymore. This market is competitive and features quality shooters at all markets. My shop is strong top to bottom and nobody rides coat tails here...we pride ourselves as being interchangable on most stories. Yeah its hot ...and yeah y'all work hard...but not any harder or better than the others. It's hard being number one...but careful...the fall is long and hard...even moreso for the arrogant who are celebrating the success of a newsroom they have been a part of for about 9 months...Keep your eyes open We'll be gunning for you...

That's a joke...a pop culture/porn reference...too deep...I guess. I'm sorry my post name is that of a pretty hot looking adult film star. Maybe that makes me a pervert, but your stuff is still tough to read. I get your point though. I loved the band Alice 'n Chains too...but that was the '90's. late

What I really want to say is that everywhere you look people are allways bitching about this bus. if you dont like it get out. There are a ton of other people who want in, so make room they diserve it. And for NPPA what a joke? All POY are coming from places like Mineapolis or Denver markets that are sleepy. so there you have it Allysin... Glad you enjoy that kind of stuff.
