Topic > Reflective Essay: My Internship at 6abc - 1692

It was not at all what I thought it would be and I honestly realized along the way that this is not a department I would want to work in. Desk work and constant computer time really prevents me from working in any department that involves sitting in one place for six hours. To counteract this I went on promotional videos and had the opportunity to attend some events that I would never have been able to attend without 6abc, but the time spent at the desk really makes those events less intriguing. I was hoping to do a lot more on photography projects when I started this internship, but I spent a lot of time behind the camera that I wasn't used to. I think doing this internship was very important because it taught me a lot about what it takes to promote a news station. Now I appreciate all the people who don't go on television because they do most of the dirty work. Our talent writes some of their own stories, but their work seems much more relaxing than other employees. I loved interacting with the talent more than anything because I hope to be in their shoes one day. Adam Joseph is an absolute treasure and I am honored to have worked closely with him on projects alongside all the talent at 6abc. Watching them with fans at events makes me even more motivated to give my best and gain a fan base like all of them.
