KWCH Visit

That was such a fun experience!!!! I keep thinking I know what I want to do with my future in sports and writing and each visit we go on keeps me wanting to be involved in that field of communications...oh my, but anyways, KWCH was definitley neat. My highlight was getting the chance to trash Mike's desk..haha just kidding Mike! My personal highlight was getting the oppertunity to sit in on the editor/production/reporters meeting. It was cool to see that they are totally laid back and enjoy their job. I could totally do that for the rest of my life. It reminded me of our newsroom on Friday afternoons at the Sunflower.

I liked getting to see the studio and where everything is taped. I've seen the Fox side, but I had never seen the KWCH side of the studio. It's a lot different then it looks on TV, which was cool. It sucks that some jobs were cut in the because of our technology advances, which also worries me about print writing, but it was also funny picturing that camera rounding a corner and taking an unexpecting person off guard.

The station as a whole was pretty sweet, especially them being one of the best in the State, thats a pretty nice bragging right. I never knew they taped the CatchItKansas show right there in the middle of the room, so that was a random fact I found cool to know.

I agree with what they told us about getting our foot in the door and always looking for an oppertunity to advance. It's about who you know and I think KWCH is a pretty sweet place and would be a cool job.
