Behind the Scenes: The Newsroom
You've seen the shows but what really goes on behind the scenes in the newsroom?
One thing that surprised me was how health conscious the entire staff is here. All the producers, anchors, and reporters love to exercise on a daily basis and eat a healthy lifestyle - especially Maggie Rulli! Every day she brings in a new concoction of healthy homemade snacks. Being a vegetarian myself, it was nice to see the healthy-food cognizant staff.
Another thing that I really like about the newsroom was the atmosphere. There is a fresh vibe that you can feel working in the newsroom, a collective group of people doing what they love. As an intern, one of the challenging things is that I can’t go on any of the interesting and exciting trips with the rest of the staff. Since I’ve been here in August the reporters have gone to Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Mexico and just this weekend, Myanmar. Plus Jessica and one of the producers were in Israel over the summer for a series that’s going to start next week.
They’re constantly searching for new story ideas and teens that are influencing the world. I admit I’m a bit jealous that I don’t get to go on these exhibitions but my dream would be the ability to travel the world and report on stories at the same time.
Some food for thought: “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Helllloooo!
Hello Channel One Viewers! My name is Alexis Morgan. You might've seen me a few times on the show. I'm currently an intern for the Channel One Network at the CBS headquarters in New York City. When I was told I'd be interning for the network, I didn’t know anything about Channel One News. I didn’t have the program at my middle/high school but now that I see how it’s affecting youth, I wish I had!
I also soon found out that my favorite reporter, Lisa Ling, who inspired my own journalistic dreams, began her own career at the network. Channel One is all about news relevant to the young generation, something which I think is so important. When I was in school, I didn’t know about world news topics or presidential platforms, that’s why I’m so happy to have been placed with Channel One for my internship.
We’re educating youth about the world they live in so they can be contributing members of society as informed adult. I first became interested in journalism as a sports reporter. I liked providing information to the audience which ultimately led me to a broader interest in news. I picked up a journalism major at my undergraduate school and am now pursing a masters degree in journalism. I hope this experience at Channel One will help me understand the way news influences young generations -- and ultimately the world.
Thanks for watching!
