WTVD-ABC11 Visit Blog Post

Some things that I took away from the WTVD visit was that as a reporter, I should always have story ready. One key element that I took away was that “the best stories come from the people.” Akilah Davis, a news reporter for ABC11, said that the best way to get a job is obtain an internship before graduating. She also mentioned that you need to make connections within the community. She use to cover multiple counties and then turned into a beat reporter. Tom Donahue, producer for ABC11, mentioned that they have Fall internships coming up this summer. I also took away that deadlines are tight and vital.
