I’m a weather girl!
Today we went on air and experienced the a day in the life of a TV news anchor… and it was hard. News anchors have little earpieces in their ears which connects them to the control room. The control room is constantly talking to the anchors about when they need to cue a new segment, cue a jump to an interview clip, etc. The anchors have to listen to all of that, read the teleprompter, and still look like they are not confused! It is incredible what they can do.
I appreciated this opportunity immensely and especially appreciated the chance to meet with Ms. McGinnis, who explained the field of broadcast in a way that made us all interested.
Tomorrow is crackdown time for our projects… so buckle your seatbelts. It’s almost here!
