Use your contacts. • Be professional, work hard, and get good video!
My duties as an intern: • Make phone calls for interviews, get mug shots or accident reports, or simply ask for directions. • Help research possible news stories. • Shoot video while the reporter does their stand-up. • Work with the reporter to put together a good script. • Aid in editing video and adding sound. • Meet, greet, and observe the interviewing process. Think of my own good questions! • I aided the news reporters in completing their daily assignments. • The best part is, you get to see your finished product on TV at 10 o’clock!
What I’ve gained from this experience: • I’ve learned about an industry I have always wanted to know more about. • Connections and networking makes a difference! • Working in a professional setting for a semester has better prepared me for a career when I finish school. • I been able to do things I never would have learned such as shoot a camera, edit videos, and put together a news script.
Just one more thing… • Men and women are expected to fill different roles in society and act in different ways, even when they do the same job. • It is believed that men and women do their jobs differently because they live up to the societal expectations put upon them to form their identity.
