Newswaves 32
I started working as the producer of Newswaves 32, Pepperdine's 5 o'clock news show, at the beginning of this school year. I didn't really know what to expect because I had never produced a show before. My dream was to be a sports reporter, but I was producing the show because it would be good experience and had a good scholarship attached to it. When I started, it was a total nightmare. All the people that were a part of my crew were completely inexperienced and everything was incredibly stressful. But as the semester went on, I got more comfortable at my job and my crew started to get their stuff together. By the end, I was really enjoying my job as producer and we were starting to produce shows that were comparable to the more experienced crew that went on Thursdays.
I realized after working at Newswaves that I really want to be some sort of producer when I go out to look for a job. I found that when you're a producer, you're in charge of the entire show and can make it as perfect as you want, where as a reporter only has a chance to make part of the show perfect. Plus I like to boss people around. Anyway, I can't imagine a more fulfilling job then to come up with your show and then to see it come to fruition exactly as you had pictured it. And that is the impact that Newswaves 32 has had on my life.
