Become a journalist, write something controversial, get yourself on a chat/question show, schmooze with the guests and get some contacts, keep nagging them and try and get a regular slot. Then progress from here doing various types of shows, until either presenting the news or even your own show.

It helps. if you're a respected journalist and you write something controversial, people will want to question you on that and let you air your views. If you're well known this is more likely to happen than if you simple wrote something controversial on a blog for instance, with very few followers, and anyone of note who does read it might simple think you're a lunatic.

-Make youtube channel - take clothes off - say something controversial optional - be a "television* presenter with industry-beating viewing figures"

*If you have an X-box with internet access, you can surf the web on your TV, right? If no, then I stand corrected, this is not the best route for an aspiring television presenter to take.

Register with Starnow. You can create your own profile and apply for jobs (some of which are TV presenting!). Good luck!

Have a relative who works in TV. Seriously, the media is quite possibly the worst sector for nepotism.

Hi Honey.


The first place you should start is by looking at entry level TV Jobs such as being a Runner / Logger. This will help you learn how TV production works and also will give you access to great contacts.
