Week #1 At My Internship

WEEK 1  May 31st-June 5th


     The night before my first day of my internship I had all of these questions/anticipations dancing around in my head.  I was wondering how soon would they let me interview someone, or would they let me help do some investigative reporting.  Its really kind of funny how anxious I was.  
    My first day at WAPT, I walked to the wrong door.  My supervisor actually was pulling up as he saw me going to the wrong door.  He quickly guided me to the right door, and introduced me to the crew that was working.  The first task that they gave me was to sit and listen to the police radio, for anything that sounded interesting.  After about 5 min. of sitting and listening to the radio, the news anchor/reporter asked me if I would like to ride with her as she went to report at a ground breaking ceremony on Hwy. 80. Of course I jumped at the opportunity.  The hours that I worked that day were very enlightening.  The most that I learned from her  that day was how it is beneficial to get to know, and the talk to the people you plan on interviewing before hand.
     The rest of the week, I continued to listen to the radio, and go out and shadow other reports.
