It has been said that some things are taught while others are caught. This statement depicts my experience at WREG news channel 3. I am grateful for all of the wonderful teachers I have. They continue to stretch me and push me to be a better journalist. However, there are some lessons that I believe are caught through life’s experiences.
Being an intern at channel three has allowed me insight into the news world, far more insight than what can be captured through reading. I have seen reporters have to work double shifts, race to finish a story before a deadline, deal with people slamming doors in their face, fight the cold weather, and many other exciting challenges. Being right there on their side allows me to feel what they feel, to catch lessons along the way.
I can honestly say that I see the great value in doing internships. I regret not having done several internships as an undergrad. I graduate in May, so this will be my only internship before graduation. I will make the best of it and continue to learn and Catch everything I can. There are some lessons that a classroom can’t teach you.
