Tuesday Day 8

Today,

I didn't have to drop any of my stories. It feels a little weird to actually know what my job is. Well at the least there is a second opinion as to what my job as a producer entails.

I understand now that I control the talent and watch the time. I don't focus on the director or what else is going on in the control room.

The show was a success but it was more of a technical issue. I look forward to improving on the next

Tuesday Day 7

The show this week we can say was nice. I was the first producer to have two live shots in my show this semester!

The TUESDAY team worked well! We are Twitter Tuesday so be sure to tweet us every Tuesday @news20at5

In the A Block the top story was about a sex sting operation which was a big story here in Leon County. Also in the A Block a FAMU TV 20 Reporter Tiana Poitier told the story of the Toddler in China who was ran over in the streets and no one assisted. This footage was even worse and the child is brain dead now.

I am learning more and more to appreciate Journalism. Someone has to tell these stories and as a Journalist in the making it is my duty as a Producer to shine light on what people need and want to know.

I pray more viewers tune in because we are a real station that cover live and breaking news!

It excites me to see other students working diligently to get their voice and their story heard. Pitching ideas and creating being innovative in the news setting just reminds me of how important it is to be an individual and be you because everyone esle is taken.

Your skill is yours, and your skill is needed so perfect it.

I am Born to Produce!

Tuesday Day 6

I was complemented on my show for the first time. I mean I actually acknowledge that the show was good. I am still working on a good live shot. I understand it will make or break my capstone for graduation in December but there are a plethora of opportunities to correct this. But I would like options on which newscast I can choose from.

My reporter was sick and a person that I appreciate was out.

But I knew that the day either way was going to be great.

When there is a lot of difficulty at the beginning of a project, hang in their because there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I missed out on Blogging last week because it was homecoming. Yes, I got points taken off and thats fine because I should have remembered.

FAMU Homecoming 2K11 was amazing by the way!

I really enjoy producing, the good and the bad. My writing skills are getting better as well as my editing skills!

Those are the reasons I joined broadcast journalism. I am becoming better at effectively communicating.
