We had our first newscast on Wednesday, and I honestly thought it went really well. Not perfect, of course, but it was better than I had expected. We did four takes. You could tell everyone was really nervous the first time around, but by the second take, everyone was much more comfortable and relaxed. It made me proud of our team, and excited to see what’s to come. 

Last Monday, the reporters gave their pitches. They all had good ideas and I was impressed with how well they were working with their beats. I was running around like crazy after class to post their selected story ideas and conference times in the edit lab. Afterwards, I had a break until Wednesday.
