So we may have difficult times in media but, there’s got to be some things that were great at in media! All of us have our strengths and weaknesses in media because nobody’s perfect! This year, I would say that I have mastered the morning announcements, writing scripts, and meeting deadlines.

It’s a new school year, so we have brand new teams to work on the morning announcements. We have four teams that switch out every week so everyone gets a chance to work a different job. I’m in team three and we worked two weeks ago. It was the first time we worked in the morning announcements so it was a little rough on Monday, not to mention a random picture of Seattle. But, we learned from that and we picked it up on Tuesday with a great broadcast with no pictures of Seattle. I would say that team 3 mastered working together.

I also mastered writing scripts. For our news stories, we have to create a script and its probably the hardest part about making a news story. When writing a script, it takes a lot of revisions to finally get it approved. When we were writing our script I was a little nervous about it. I just had a feeling that I’d have to change the whole script around. Believe it or not, we didn’t have to make major changes! There’s just one point in our 5 step outline that we need to change and a small revision to one of the voiceovers!

Lastly, I mastered meeting deadlines so far. This Monday, we had to turn in our scripts, and we did! Sometimes meeting a deadline can be hard especially when the quarter is short. Our script deadline was our biggest deadline so far, but we also met the other small ones like finish filming and transcribing. Our final projects are due soon so we will work extremely hard to meet our next deadline.

In conclusion, there are some things that I have mastered but, I haven’t mastered everything! And that’s why we work as a class, some people are better in certain things than others so, we al, work together to help each other. This year I have mastered the morning announcements, writing scripts, and meeting deadlines. Hopefully, I’ll be able to master more skills throughout this year!
