I'm a new producer and excited to be joining a really solid team. They clearly trust each other, have fun together, and their coordination during big stories is impressive. I'd love to become part of this dynamic, but don't want to come across as desperate. What's worked for you when you're the "new kid"?

Jumping in with curiosity works best. I’ll ask a ton of questions, even the small ones, and try to learn the team’s flow instead of forcing my own way in. It shows respect for how they already work and makes it easier to earn trust.

Remember you don't have to prove yourself in the first week. First impressions are very important but sitting back, answering questions and being a team player is better than being a show off

I found that joining in on the casual conversations was just as important as showing I could handle the work. Even small chats in the newsroom built trust and made collaboration during breaking stories feel smoother.

Just keep it chill and ask questions! People are naturally going to include the ‘new person’ and if they end up purposely excluding you then maybe they aren’t the team you want to work with anyway

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
