The Mentorship Newsrooms Don't Have Time For
FFWD Media Mentor is a media consultancy founded by Guy Campanile — an Emmy Award‑winning journalist with 34 years of network news experience, including three decades at CBS News. We give early-career journalists, reporters, and students the direct, personalized coaching today's stretched-thin newsrooms rarely have time to provide.
Built For Every Stage Of A Journalism Career
Whether you're chasing your first byline or your next market, mentoring should meet you exactly where you are.
Early-Career Journalists
You've landed the job. Now sharpen the skills that get you noticed — on camera, on the page, and on deadline.
Reporters Ready For The Next Step
Moving to a bigger market, a new beat, or a network role takes more than ambition. Get the reel, the writing, and the interview game to match it.
Students
Take your first steps into a fast-moving industry with real-world coaching from someone who has spent three decades inside it.
Mentorship That Covers The Whole Job
Six focused disciplines, one mentor who has actually done the work — inside real newsrooms, on real deadlines.
On-Camera & On-Air Coaching
Presence, delivery, live hits and stand-ups — polished until they feel natural, not rehearsed.
Writing & Editing Polish
Tighter scripts, cleaner structure, and copy that reads the way strong broadcast writing should sound.
Video Journalism & Field Craft
Shooting, packages, VOSOTs and one-person-band skills built for the field, not the classroom.
Podcasting & Audio Storytelling
Voice, pacing, interview technique and editing that turn a good idea into a listenable show.
Resume Reel & Interview Prep
Reel review, application strategy and mock interviews that hold up under real newsroom pressure.
Student Mentoring & Career Launch
Portfolio building, internship prep and honest orientation for a fast-moving, competitive industry.
Coaching Grounded In Real Assignments
From the control room to the frontlines, every lesson comes from time actually spent doing the job.
Newsrooms move fast. Mentorship shouldn't be the thing left behind.
