Second Time Around...

I was very happy with how things went on Thursday. I felt much more prepared and ready to do the newscast, and was especially happy that I had the whole rundown thing figured out-- that makes things a million times easier, I think. I also knew which stories to focus on, and had a better idea of how to make a more effective sequence. Another wonderful thing is that both of my reporters were in the room all day with their stories already covered! YAY! They wrote their stories in a good amount of time, which helped the stress level stay controlled. Lara had a little trouble finding a foner, but got one eventually. All of the carts were done with time to spare, and everything got printed out on time as well! We cut the weather pretty short because I thought we were running out of time, but we actually had 10 seconds extra. Oh well. Overall it went pretty well and I really am going to miss producing!
