Being a part
of WCRN”S team from the last five weeks I feel the best way to try to describe their
management and structure of the organization would be semi formal semi informal
professionally. I would say management structure
is right in the middle of the road environment.
Working for a talk radio station you meet several different kinds of
people who have business within Worcester County WCRN tries to make everyone
feel comfortable and welcome when they visit the station. Although the studio’s structure is semi
structured there are times when they do have fun joking and laughing amongst
themselves and with guests. Although
things work well at the station for the most part there have been problems with
miss communication. One particular example
of this I saw would be when someone in management gave the wrong date for a benefit
to be posted on the social media sights of the station. Then they read the original memo that they
had given to be post and then apologized for their mistake because they had given
the wrong date. A second example is when
someone in the station forgot about an interview that was scheduled in the
morning. One of the other radio personalities
gave the interview instead even though it was not there job they had no problem
helping. These two examples show how
important good communication between fellow employees really is. In addition, how you should always check your
appointment book and make sure what you write is correct.
The guys
that work here have all worked together at other radio stations in the past and
have a enlightened self interest in covering each other’s buts they realize
that it takes a team to make things work in this business.
Seeing the
way things are run here at WCRN has made me realize what I want to look for
when I go looking for a job in the future.
Interning at the radio station has shown me that a good communication and
a team-working environment are very important things to look for in future
employment.
