First Time Out

All this week the interns are working on content positions and production positions on mock shows or dry runs. Since many of us have never worked a number of the positions, its basically hands on training.

So far this week I served as a videographer and editor (mmmmm), I worked studio camera, I worked chyrons (did better than I thought for a first time), I will work chyrons again and I will also report and edit.

My first time out as a co-anchor was a little rough.

On a scale of 1-10, I'd give myself a 6.5-7.

There is a lot for me to learn.

I was reminded not to take myself too seriously.

At the very least I knew well enough to laugh at myself.



The biggest mistake I made today not taking my time, and not clearly pronouncing and enunciating words.

The highest compliment I was paid, "Smile because when you smile it's infectious." That came from the News Director.
