A proud experience- Day:2

Today was an amazing experience! When I got to WNEP, the 2:30 meeting was still going on. Dave(my boss at the assignment desk) allowed me to go with the reporter Peggy(the women in the picture) and her photographer Bill(in picture) to report on a story an hour away. I learned so much in the 4 hours with them than I would have in school for the year. We covered a story involving a high school that was a getting a very nice monetary gift! The way Peggy asked questions to the coaches and parents was amazing. She was very clear on what she needed to get out of the interview. I got to see how they shot pictures and videos. In the car ride, I asked them questions about how they got into the business and if they picked the right career. I have to say their answers were right to the point.....You have to love it and be ok with not making money.....that pretty much summed up there answers. After the car ride we got back to the station where I watched Bill edit the news piece while Peggy wrote her scrip. To see it all come together for the 10:00 news....was amazing! I was so proud to be a part of what just happened!
