And that’s a wrap! We filmed our last show. I am overwhelmingly proud of the team, and I am so proud of our newscasts. I am also very proud of myself. I worked so hard for the executive producer position, and I spent every week doing the best I could to create shows that live up to the highly acclaimed, Emmy award winning title. This last newscast I was extremely independent, structuring and casting the show and writing the script entirely on my own. 

And just like that, we are finished with our special edition show! With only one more show to go, it’s hard to believe that the semester is coming to an end. This past newscast was my favorite to produce, and I am so proud of the show we filmed. I found myself taking charge this week, and working directly with Professor Dahlia to make sure that this special edition would be great! I’m so happy I am part of such a hardworking team.

I can’t believe we are done with our third newscast. Time is flying! This show, I found myself taking more authority during taping. I also think my times for the show’s rundown were more accurate. I’m learning so much, and I’m starting to push past the “ask a lot of questions” stage, and move into the stage where I’m practicing and improving on my skills.

Our second newscast is done! I was more confident during the process of making this show, and I am beginning to slide into a routine. The stress is still very much there, but I am loving every second of it. I’m learning that an executive producer does not always have a list of specific jobs. Producing a show means helping out with anything and everything to make it great. 

Our first newscast is finished! I am so proud of everyone, and I am so excited for the rest of the semester. Obviously, the show wasn’t perfect, but we will keep improving! Although it is stressful, I love being the executive producer, and I am learning so much about the career.
