On Air and Online

Hey world wide web,

Monday marked the first day of my internship with WCJB TV20, and it has been quite the fun, interesting experience so far.

Since the start, I’ve uploaded articles to the TV20 Web site, edited articles, approved comments and have chosen stories for the home page. I have also edited and captured video using Final Cut Pro for the articles as well as their one-minute local news/sports/weather vids.

The challenging part is learning all of their programs and, on a basic level, adjusting to using a Mac. I’ve been a PC person all my life, and now I’m starting to consider making the switch when my PC decides to punk out. (knocks on wood)

Please don’t punk out, PC.

I’ve also gotten the chance to sit in the control room while the 5:30 and 6 p.m. news airs. As an audience member who usually watches TV news on her comfy sofa, a half hour goes by so quickly and painlessly. But it’s tense and exciting actually watching people produce the show.

It has only been three days in, and I’ll be sure to update once I’ve gotten to observe more.

Also, I have a Flickr page now! I’ve begun to take photos on my new Nikon D5000. Here’s my photostream.

Some of my first photos were taken at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival:

Hello There

I have ridden in a helicopter that has flown over Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, walked through corn fields out in the rural outskirts of town and sat in on a High Springs police active-shooter training. I have conversed with many people, from circus performers and authors to hackers and the local homeless. And, believe it or not, I actually take joy in covering City Commission meetings.

I recently graduated from the University of Florida, and I have worked for The Independent Florida Alligator and The North Florida Herald in High Springs, Fla. I have also worked at the local news station, WCJB TV20, as an associate producer, and ABC News On Campus as a reporter.

I am currently at the Society of Professional Journalists National Headquarters and busy hunting for full-time job opportunities.

I also love to collaborate on creative projects, whether it be with music, poetry or fiction. If you need help editing a chapter of your short story or need a violinist for that piece you’re planning to play, I’m your gal.

If you would like to get in touch with me, feel free to e-mail me at aprildudash@gmail.com.
