Update

Last week Marcy led a newswire package training session. She showed us how to find news stories and footage that we could use to put together the packages, she showed us how to find the info on reuters.com. The most interesting part was trying to condense all of the information into a 45 second story. The information on Reuters was organized very well though, so it was pretty straightforward. It was fun breaking into groups and attempting to put everything together from beginning to end on our own, I haven't worked a lot with the other interns, so that was good experience as well. I also worked on the Action calendar and helped out with the teleprompter in the studio. I ran into some technical difficulties, but that's probably a good way to learn. I feel a little more comfortable with the equipment in the control room now, everyone has been very helpful! I am looking forward to the coming weeks.
