Getting ahead in the journalism industry is tough. Just getting a news director to look at your tape can be difficult.

As a news producer in Salt Lake City, I've seen plenty of students come up through the ranks and try to land their first job. What you need is a way to make yourself different from every other new reporter.

One way to do that is through your own web site from RobbyReporter.com -- if you're Wendy Weather looking for your first on-air job, you'll own wendyweather.com -- with a video version of your resume tape (and your complete text resume), headshots showing just how good you look, basic cover letter information about yourself, and contact links so news directors can tell you, "You're hired!"

Jumping into the web by yourself can be tricky if you don't have much online experience, so that's where we come in. Robby Reporter takes all of the hassle out of launching your own web site -- all you have to do is provide the information you're already giving to potential employers.
