We're Gonna Groove

As an anchor today, my job was relatively easy. I was able to do a phoner with the Rosamond Gifford Zoo without any problems, and I spoke with one of the workers there. She knew everything about the Guinea hogs the zoo had just acquired, and she was very friendly on the phone, which made my job about 1000 times easier. As a reporter for The Daily Orange last year, I encountered my fair share of people who wouldn't take the time to really talk with you over the phone, so I greatly appreciate it when people go out of their way to help you out whether you be a major network news reporter or merely a student.

The newscast itself went very well, I thought. Ranbir and Amy did their jobs, getting their stories done with plenty of time to spare and getting them on carts well in advance. I thought Mura did a terrific job producing the show -- getting the rundown in order, writing a good portion of the stories, etc. We also did a very good job of timing the show out, even though we had to cut a story. All in all I think everything grooved, and nothing went drastically wrong. Mura summed up how we did at the end of the cast: "Nice job."
