WGGB-TV; Springfield, MA

I was to assist reporters, photographers and producers in the news gathering and editing process. There were no real changes to those responsibilities.

I think this placement is somewhere between an excellent and very good placement and I recommend it to other students. This placement provides hands on experience of what broadcast journalism is really like. Not to mention the very nice people you work with. If I could have changed one thing about this placement, I would have liked more instructions on what they wanted me to do.

My advice to others is to get experience earlier in college, start getting placements sophomore year.
