Another sensitive subject!!! No, I would NOT recommend getting an M.A. in television production. I guess I'm an academic elitist when it comes to graduate degree programs. I think an M.A. or a Ph.D. is a research degree and not one which prepares for a profession other than academia. There are a few exceptions, but they are professional degrees and should correctly be labeled M.F.A. and not M.A. I don't know of many in television production (maybe Syracuse and a couple of the art school type programs). We've had a number of people of late coming through our Master's in Journalism here at L.S.U. hoping to prepare themselves for a career. Typically, they're people with B.A.s in non-career programs like English, History, Philosophy. To them and others I say go and get a second bachelor's degree in Journalism (or Radio-TV-Film or whatever).
