How to go from runner to researcher in TV
Broadcaster Jasmine Dotiwala was remembering her own start in television, as she hosted and produced the RTS Futures event ‘Runner to Researcher’ in early June.
She continued: “The secret of being a great runner is to be consistently delightful.”
The event, aimed at TV’s most junior employees, offered tips on how to move on from the runner entry level to the next stage in production, working as a researcher. It can be difficult to achieve this promotion and many young people drop out before making it.
