There’s more opportunity in print, but if you want to go broadcast, I recommend independent media.

I am sad for you. I am a retired old-school print media journalist who started out in ‘79 as a beat news reporter. Real broadcast journalism ended in the ‘80s. Rent the film Broadcast News for a comedic history lesson. The Internet never adopted journalism standards and ethics. And here we are.
