ONW...NOW Reflection

In this edition of ONW...NOW! I took on the "star" of the show (in the news room that's the anchor). Anchoring was actually really fun despite the nerves I had about it. Your job is to present the information, you're the one everyone is watching. You have to be cool and collected, which I think I was. It was my first time anchoring too, so for having no experience, I did pretty well.

I could improve on my sentence fluency. I pretty much just read off the teleprompter which probably sounded a little choppy. I also mentioned how I was nervous, which made me more tense than normal.
Just being more relaxed would be something I need to work on.

As a whole, our class needs to get the overall feel of the show. Our roles are limited and everyone should know how to run everything. People are good at specific aspects of ONW...NOW! Some have mastered the soundboard, some are great anchors, but that's all they know. Each week if there are people missing, we struggle because we don't know how to fill that person's role. If we all knew (or almost all) how to do more than one job, the show would run so much smoother and quicker. However, we do have some interesting stories. We do a good job of coming up with things that students want to hear about. The packages and the music going along with them fits in; made by students, for students. It works because we know what will be entertaining to our fellow classmates.

ONW...NOW! I feel is always going to be a work in progress. Hopefully throughout the year we become better and more experienced as a class.
