Television work is something that I have only gotten hands-on experience with in the classes I have been exposed to here at South Carolina, but it's something that I've enjoyed doing. I did have an internship at WTVD in Durham, North Carolina a couple of years ago, but I received no hands-on training or experience there, so everything I learned has been a product of my classes here at school.
Here is one of the packages I did in Senior Semester, highlighting a national rise in robberies of pizza delivery workers across the nation.
It was a hard piece to do, having to track down people who have knowledge and are directly impacted by the trend, but I felt good about my finished product. This process also represents the many skills I've gained through learning television reporting that I can apply to my life and any future job I will have.
Time management is crucial when working on a deadline, and having to plan out what needs to be done in advance is a big step in being successful at that. I've also learned how to work with and around other people's schedules, as well as how to efficiently work as a team with my classmates.
