What is it like to work for Coimisiún na Meán?
Meet Laura, Assistant Director, Platform Supervision & Investigations
I worked at the former Broadcasting Authority of Ireland for over four years, before moving across to the newly formed Coimisiún na Meán this year. I studied Film & Television Production, which provided me with a solid foundation to make a transition into the broadcasting regulatory field. Since joining, I have been really impressed with the opportunities available to us; I have progressed from Clerical Officer to Assistant Director within the organisation, undertaken further educational opportunities, and have enjoyed working across a variety of roles and projects including Communications, the Broadcasting Funding Scheme, Governance, and Policy & Supervision. A career highlight to date was working on the design of the 2021-2023 Strategy Statement. It was really rewarding seeing my work influence key strategic documents that are used day-to-day across the organisation. Some of the best things about working here are feeling valued for the contribution you make. The team is friendly, and you get a deep–rooted sense of satisfaction knowing you’re working on a common goal for the public! I have been very lucky to be involved in work which lets me play to my strengths and develop interests across a wide range of topics in the media and regulatory sectors.
Meet Ita, Executive Officer, Media Landscape
I was initially employed as an external contractor, based in the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland as a receptionist for four years. During the COVID-19 pandemic I was considered a Key Worker; meaning I was one of only a few people in the office daily, and in doing so I took on many new responsibilities. This gave me the opportunity to grow and learn new skills, supporting various areas within the organisation including the Sound & Vision Funding Scheme, Accounts and Facilities. Eight months ago, I was delighted to accept a full-time Clerical Officer position as a Public Service employee and moved over to Coimisiún na Meán as the organisation transitioned. I am now part of the Sound & Vision Funding Team and I really enjoy the work. It’s really satisfying to hear or see Radio and Television programmes being broadcast and to be able to say, I was part of the process that enabled that to be made. I have been really impressed with how friendly and supportive Coimisiún na Meán is, whether that’s encouraging us to develop our professional skillset through internal and external learning opportunities, or by supporting community and diverse events like the bilingual storytelling event I ran for Seachtain na Gaeilge. Accepting a permanent role here was a great decision and I would highly recommend it to anybody considering a change in career.
