"The broadcast journalism academy is great for making connections with people and for the out-of-classroom experiences, like going to the PBS studios and California for the student television network conference where you compete with other schools while honing the skills you learn in school. With all these experiences, I hope to reach some type of professional level in broadcast journalism someday." Sawyer
"What I like best about the broadcast journalism academy is how I was able to transform my hobby of editing into a professional craft; creating and delivering other peoples stories. While being in this academy I've learned to grow in my editing skills much more and I look forward to getting to work with professional editors someday. I have been able to visit a news station and shadow their anchors, who have given me great advice in bettering my own skills." Sage
