My boss doesn’t believe in treating interns like mere interns and, consequently, she’s thrown me head first into broadcast journalism.
I’m never bored.

I’ve accompanied medical news anchors who were up from Atlanta (Elizabeth Cohen and Sanjay Gupta); I’ve learned how anchors and guests prep for video shoots (I observed the makeup process); I’ve assisted and led video shoots; I’ve helped with production and spent a lot of time logging and transcribing raw video footage; I’ve helped with packages that aired on CNN (Sanjay’s special Toxic America series); I’ve done A LOT of research on health topics and created research briefings; and I’ve sat in on executive and senior-level CNN meetings.
That list doesn’t even begin to do justice, though, to everything I’ve been exposed to and everything I’ve been learning. Every day is a new day with new topics and new experiences.
