The DL on team D

For starters, we had the most diverse group ever to do a radio newscast. An Indian/English/American, A Kenyan/Canadian/American, an Asian/American, and an American. Anyways...Thing actually went really smoothly today. Mura came in with his story already covered which was wonderful. Gino was struggling finding a story. It was actually rather funny because I never knew exactly where he was. Whenever I called him, all I heard was heavy breathing and him saying he was doin okay. We ended up coming back with, in my mind, the most interesting wrap of the day. He did true journalism of just stumbling upon an event and asking questions about it. I have to give him props for his work. Also, Ranbir came into class with an idea for a foner, but by the time we got to say our idea, it was already taken. He did a good job of being persistent with the Erik Gustafson story and trying to contact the principal multiple times. Thankfully we planned well and had a back up plan for a foner. Overall, I think it went well. The one thing I would change (and this isn't just my group) is teaching everyone how to cart something. I think this was the last group that had to report so everyone should know how to cart a story. Usually I don't mind helping other people and groups with carting things, but producing today, I had no time to help. As for my group, I think everyone did very well to get quality radio done on deadline. The one problem was that we were 7 seconds under but that was m fault.

Na, I could've talked a bit more and got that seven seconds. I'll take the blame for that. And I'll cart my own stuff from now on. lol
