The Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry has multiple segments that combine into one vertical; Movies/Cinema, Television, Music, Publishing, Radio, Internet, Advertising and Gaming. In general, M&E jobs include reporters, correspondents, and broadcast news analysts; writers and authors; editors; photographers; graphic designers; translators; film and video editors and camera operators; broadcast and sound engineering technicians; announcers; producers and directors; and performers—from actors to musicians and composers.

The M&E industry attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds; creative, innovative people are welcome, as are those with a knack for analyzing and prioritizing news, creating business plans, negotiating contracts, pitching and selling, marketing and promoting, or crunching numbers.
