When I was reading...

I read a blog entry recently by Lenslinger and it really made me excited to get out and do my internship at WKBN in the next couple of weeks. The title of the entry is called Gladiators at Bay and it vividly describes the type of competition in the news markets today between stations. I think its going to be fun to compete with neighboring station. I already consider myself a competitive person since I have been an athlete for eight years. It sounds rough in the 1st paragraph of the article, but if it were easy, then everyone would be doing it! It only sounds rough because I will be helping the photographers make the top story for that day and give people an insight into whats happening in thier community and explain it in the most interesting way possible. I like how WKBN runs their internships though. They let the interns do whatever I want to whether it be shooting, editing, and even writing. I don't really want to be in front of the camera so I'm happy that I can do so many behind the scene jobs. It's also exciting to leave the little bubble of college and get my feet wet in some real news and real shooting.

Internships And The End Of College

Well my college years are quickly coming to an end and it's time for me to start looking for a job. Although it will be tough, I am taking the right steps to getting a job. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do when i get out of school but only time will tell that. I am taking on an internship when I finish swim season in a couple of days. I will be looking to get one with WKBN or WYTV and I'm pretty excited about it. I will be able to do anything that I want to whether it be shooting, writing, or editing. I will want to shoot most of the time so that I can get a lot of material to choose from for my senior presentation at the end of the year.
