Yesterday I drove out to St. Pete to meet with a producer for the Bay News 9 On Demand channel. This meeting was part of a networking project for my Intro to Telecommunications class. I was assigned to seek out a person with my desired job and spend some time with them at their workplace, getting a feel for what they do.
After asking a few career related questions, I was taken on a tour of the station. It was a slow Saturday and surprisingly there were only a few people working. This was good for me because I was not overwhelmed and people had time to talk to me. I was able to hang out with one of the editors for a while who was a former USF student. I learned some things about editing and she gave me a walkthrough of what her workday entailed. I even got to step inside the control room and meet the director while they were filming the meteorologist's weather report.
The station offers a paid summer internship program that I'm definitely going to apply for. The station seems like a really nice work environment with top of the line equipment and a very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
