Survey

What are the top three skills journalism students should learn in college?:

Professionalism, independence, and individuality. Professionalism: Knowing how to act and react to co-workers goes a long way. Independence: Being able to work on your own and complete tasks ahead of time is a skill that is never under-appreciated. Individuality: Getting the job done with some personal style can help elevate your work. Producers are always looking for new ideas and unique perspectives.

Executive Producer, Producer, Director, Editor, Technical Director



How did ATVN prepare you for your career?:

ATVN helped me develop many of the technical skills I still use today. The newsroom and control room experience taught me methods to deal with deadlines and co-workers in high pressure environments.
