Second Time Around

I was pretty nervous about this week's newscast, last week just seemed to fall into place and work out with out really trying. In past experience, with various things, I've learned that if something goes smoothly the first time, the odds of it going just as smoothly the next time get very slim. This week didn't go as smoothly but I'm still very happy with our group and our newscast. I struggled a lot more this week putting the rundown together, it seemed that there were no really big stories that people just had to be told. What made it even harder was that we had a really good health block but no decent way to tie it into the rest of the news, I ended up working on it and switching it around through out the day. I was once again really happy with Matt and Andrew, they got their stories done early and done well. Same with Jameson, he got his phoner quick, wrote his stories well, and still managed to find a pretty gross kicker. The actual cast went well, we ended up having to cut a story on the fly and it ended up timing out perfectly and Jameson did a really good job. Even though things didn't go as well as last week, I think the little hiccups made it a better learning experience.
