Work Environment
Online producers—especially those in journalism—work in hectic, fast-paced environments. Deadlines are short and may come at any time of the day or night. Online producers must be able to drop a current project, shift gears, and quickly focus on a breaking story. Most online producers have more editorial control as opposed to editors on the print side of a publication. Since much of their work is done after editorial offices have closed for the day, they often make key decisions on what stories are posted at the organization's Web site.
Web sites operate 24-hours a day, seven days a week. News is often posted minutes after it has occurred. X and social media posts can be made at any time. Work shifts are scheduled to accommodate this news cycle and may vary from week to week. Nontraditional work hours can be physically exhausting and, at times, affect an online producer's personal life.
