Leadership

List the key news and informational resources utilized by professionals in the media and entertainment industries
Use tools to develop a list of resources by bookmarking important websites, journals, and associations.
As a future leader in the industry, it’s important to follow and stay-up-to-date with current events. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) readers, such as Feedly, can be very helpful for bookmarking and organizing resources. A reader will allow you to organize and follow the websites of your local and national TV news, magazines, newspapers, trade publications, and everything else in the digital world, without having to go directly to each individual website.
