Today marks the first day of my summer internship with WBIR. I am already firmly convinced that this is going to be an awesome learning experience for me. It should be a lot of fun.
I began the day by watching the Style producer write intros, outros, and teases and plan the order of the show. Then I tagged along with Michele and April on a video shoot and interview for a future Style program. I spent part of the afternoon watching April edit packages for upcoming Style shows and attended the afternoon editorial meeting. I concluded the day by watching the Style, Live at Five, and 10 News at 6 shows either from the production booth or the studio.
It was a full day, but I enjoyed it.
This all still seems a little surreal to me. I've grown up watching WBIR and now I'm actually working with some of the anchors and reporters I've seen on-camera for years. And as eager as I am to be finished with school, I'm realizing just how fast time has flown. It doesn't seem right that I should already be an intern about to enter my senior year of college. But it is definitely exciting.
I have no doubt this will be an absolutely invaluable experience in my pursuit of a career in journalism and I can't wait see what adventures this summer will hold. I plan to make the most of every minute.
