From broadcasting to podcasting, today was an exciting experience where I had to chance to learn and understand different perspectives. The day started early, we headed down to the cafeteria at 8:15, where I had waffles and fruit for breakfast. We headed to the newsroom, where we met with brodcaster Dini Diskin-Zimmerman, who told us her experiences as being among the first women anchors, which was such a motivating story to hear. After, we met with J.D. Allen, who worked in podcasting, and ran the Higher Ground podcast. He explained environmental journalism, and how important podcasts are when sharing stories.
Along with podcasting, Frank Posillico and Rick Ricioppo taught us how to use the cameras and how to film. I never used a camera, so learning how to film was such a cool thing to learn. I learned how to use the camera quickly, and it was definitely my favorite part of the day.
