Today was all about work. Work through broadcasting, reporting, teamwork and writing.
We worked with Connie Conway, Marcy McGinnis, and Philip Altiere to record our first-ever news broadcast with the Greene team.
The news broadcast made me realize the important role emotions play when an anchor speaks.
The one thing I learned about being an anchor for a day is to get nerves out the door: try and be as comfortable as possible and everything will become natural.
Our broadcasts were edited and broadcast to the Greene team. I knew it was crunch time.
Our groups began to conduct interviews with our sources. There was a time when we had no sources and in the span of five hours we had over four sources.
Journalism is a fast-paced process. That’s what makes it so exciting.
Teamwork is key in creating an amazing story. Your team is going to stick with you and help get information that will benefit everyone.
As the sources get interviewed and notes start to come in… writing steps up to the plate.
Writing is what brings the story to life.
Getting a good headline, lede, and kicker is what makes the story.
Always show emotion and be a team player! ‘Til tomorrow, Greene Team!
