Annotation Two
Objective:
Write my own script for my stand up and to gain a better understanding of this particular business and befriend different people within the news department.
Activities/Resources:
-Independent research through ENPS in which I can use other reporters scripts as samples of what a stand up should consist of
-Do independent research on the background of the story I’m working on
-Make sure my script is no more than one minute and it covers all the main points (who, what, where, when, how and why)
-Befriend others in various positions within the Eyewitness News department
Evidence:
This internship allowed me to see different perspectives from all positions within the EWNs department. I was able to shadow various reporters, anchors, and other people within the news department while they’re in the process of compiling their stories and watching them live in action. I have a better understanding of the hard work and dedication everyone puts into this particular business. I was also able to receive recommendations from news anchor Bill Ritter, El Tiempo anchor/reporter Joe Torres, 7 On Your Side reporter Nina Pineda, and Assignment Desk Editor Brian McLaughlin. Include in my portfolio are snap shots of my scripts I wrote as well as informational links of reporters stand ups that I used to guide me through writing my scripts.



Bill Ritter is one of the most well-known anchors at WABC-Eyewitness News. It's an honor to have a recommendation from. (Personal information is blocked purposely for personal privacy)
