Week 13 : Ending Evaluation

     Looking back at everything that I have done over the past 4 months is amazing. How you can achieve so much in a small period of time. As I looked back at all of my shows and what I did and all the hard work that I put in on Monday and Wednesdays, I saw an immense improvement from week 1 to week 6. In week 1 you see a person that is shy and insecure in front of the camera. Move to week 6 you see someone that is confident and has personality for the viewers. After my week 3 blog I worked even harder to reach my goals, which I did and I am very proud of that. This experience has given me an outlook on my future and what my life my become. I have also found a new respect for sportscasters out there, as it is not an easy profession, they pour their hearts and their souls in their work.
     WMCT is a tremendous organization to work for. They make you comfortable from when you walk in the door til' you walk out. They teach you everything that you need to know and go slow enough for you to be able to learn at your own pace. They do not rush you into anything that you do not feel comfortable doing. Making you do coffee runs or other intern work you hear other organizations making interns do, that's not WMCT. I would recommend WMCT to anyone that wants to get a start in the television business, they are the perfect people to work for. I want to thank everyone that helped me throughout my time at WMCT, I greatly appreciate what you did for me.

Week 11: Code of Conduct

At WMCT we do not have a written code of ethics or anything real strict. We try to put the best pure product out their for our viewers and will do whatever possible to make that happen. We do have a couple rules that I have been taught as being a sportscaster and someone in the media. Always be happy and smile, be professional to the people that your talking to in your line of work, take every task seriously and with the up most respect. If you are not they will not help you and it will make your job tougher. Before you send your product out to the customer make sure that is something that you would sit down your self for the 20 minutes and watch it yourself, do not sell the product short. At WMCT we value our reputation and the product, so for a code of conduct it is that we will not allow anyone to put a bad name on WMCT. 

Tasks/Assignments

Coming into my internship I knew what my role was going to be, a sportscaster. Every Wednesday and Friday I gain a new tool that I can use when I graduate. My assignments every week is to go film highlights, write scripts, edit highlights, and on-air stand-ups. Now almost 4 months into the semester I have gained so much experience that is priceless. I feel myself getting more comfortable in front of the camera and putting out excellent work for my employer. Some of my new skills include writing scripts for "Hey Whats the Score." Worcester State University classes have helped me in this internship, by taking a public speaking class it gave me confidence going in. Also taking a media writing class has helped me with my grammar and the right way to write scripts. During my spring break I decided to go into Marlborough and film on camera. This is my best episode yet in front of the camera.
