How do I enter the entertainment industry through hard work and talent?
I want to become a director of some sort of entertainment media but I often get the sense that to even get an opportunity you have to be well connected to powerful or influential people. I know talent isn't always the most important factor to getting noticed, but, is there a way to become a leader in the entertainment industry through self made opportunities? If so, what are the most effective steps to take?

What jobs are available for someone who is interested doing DEI research in media studies?
I worked with the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative in college and really enjoyed myself! I would love to find work doing similar stuff (assisting in research pertaining to diversity in media). I'm happy to do either qualitative research, or data input and analysis, which is what I was working on in school. It's difficult to find work pertaining to this, as most companies and organizations are smaller. How can I break into this industry?

How Can I Improve my YouTube Channel?
I know this isn't related to actual jobs made by employers since this is more of a freelance thing, but I think it's best if I ask anyway and see if anyone has any useful information. I run a YouTube channel called MGLR, and I've been wanting to improve on my channel to make sure I can make the most out of my content. However, because of certain issues, I can't really make any videos recently, so I'm not getting the growth that I need. I know the basics of running a YouTube channel and creating more gaming videos, such as: - Researching the YouTube algorithm - Studying what other, more popular YouTubers do and take inspiration from them - Studying the current trends and see if I can follow those gaming trends - Creating a consistent schedule to keep my viewers on my channel - I use OBS Studio to record my videos, Audacity/Reaper to record the voice/audio and make sure it sounds high-quality - I edit my videos with Shotcut for more basic edits, but I sometimes use DaVinci Resolve in case I need to make much more advanced edits - I use Photopea to create my thumbnails for free, and I've used techniques that others use to entice viewers to clicking - Reaching out to the community and keeping up to date on the reviews of my channel However, because of other complications, I sometimes won't be able to do these things. I'll do my best if I can somehow get it done, but the schedule is what I'm struggling with. But that's not what I'm asking as of right now. What I want to know is if there are any other techniques that I do not yet know of that I can use to improve my YouTube channel. If there are any, let me know. I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Logan X.

United StatesHow? Hello, I am Kate, a certified journalist with a higher education degree. I graduated with distinction. I have experience working in TV, but unfortunately, it was in Russia. There, I achieved success and worked for the main channel in the country. Due to recent global events, I left that country and moved to Europe. I am currently looking for a job or internship in TV or print journalism in the United States. I consider America the pinnacle of journalism, as history tells us. My English is not yet at the C1 level, but I am willing to improve it. Additionally, I know that RTVI is a Russian TV channel with American news based in New York. Please, give me advice on which company I should apply to for an internship or job as a TV journalist in America. What are the chances of being hired if I do not have experience in the American market, but I am very eager to build my career there?
