Life is exciting. Four months in Spain followed by a summer in NYC is the definition of adventure, travel and learning.
I tried to blog in Spain as you might see from my attempt below. But about a month into my European adventures I decided that I would rather fill my time with more experiences rather than spend my time reflecting on those already had.
But now, as I spend my days in the fast paced, highly technological environment of Fox News I have caught the blog bug again.
This summer I am interning for FoxNews.com Live at Fox News in NYC. The energy of the news station and the city is all the same. Fast paced, hectic, always going, going, going. And I love it.
FoxNews.com Live is Fox News Channel’s live web show that airs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day. So I am there from 7:30 a.m. to about 5:00 p.m. every day. I have learned so much already. I can now quickly navigate the program iNews and can speedily cut elements using Ardome Precut and Easycut. I write headlines, greet and book guests, help manage social media, help the Line Producer in the control room and sometimes work on set with the cameras. I have even had the chance to produce a couple segments, which has been very exciting.
And while every day I learn more and more about the field of journalism, I am also learning a lot about growing up and living on my own.
I am living in my first apartment and for the first time am taking on the grown-up challenges of grocery shopping, COOKING, and trying to being thrifty (which is especially hard in the city).
So this blog will be a place where I will post my journalism ventures and projects, but may it also serve to track my emergence into the scary, but inevitable real world.
