Yesterday, I sent an email out to the Social Media Team including this week's promos for the show. I included that I would be updating the Facebook with the promo, and that each member should update their social media outlets as well with current information for this week.
I sat in the practice session of Jadarius and Kim's two-way, and then recorded them in the studio. Jadarius did a wonderful job on his two-way. I was concerned while assigning the story to him because he said the area in which he wanted to cover was Broward County. So, after confirming that with him, I chose a random but impactful charter school story in the Wilton Manors area for him to cover.
After Jadarius recorded, I recorded Andrea and Ken's two-way. I could tell that Andrea will be putting forth more effort than last semester, as I remember in Coverage of Public Affairs, she tried to ask Markella and I about our ideas for the beat story project. She almost did the same topic as me too, but I changed mine last minute so we wouldn't have the same. But, I also preferred my second choice about the texting and driving ban anyway.
Immediately after the recording, I began deleting the mistakes and multiple takes in between; and boy there were a lot of them. But, that's okay. I'm sure my two-way recording was a mess. I was so nervous in the beginning I couldn't even remember if I hit all of my bullet points I prepared.
In class I updated the Facebook with a promo for the upcoming show.
...As well as linking the first week's show to the Facebook page. I thought by doing this, we could give the current students an easier way to access the show. I know googling "South Florida Journal" doesn't turn up many accurate results in finding where we put our content.
While in class, I snapped a photo of Hector getting his spot story critiqued before finalizing it for the show. He seems to not take criticism too well, and always offers a back-comment of why his story is worded as such. Hey, it's good to have confidence in your work.
This was the first week I attended the editing day for South Florida Journal. I filled in as Co-Host for Robert since he was absent. I did such a cold read of the script, and I just was so happy to be in that room again. What was even better was that I was Co-Hosting with my a really great friend! I've known Markella for almost three years and this was great that she and I could experience being Co-Hosts together.
Immediately after my recording with Markella, I jumped on the editing and dropped in the two-way bites into the actual recording with multitrack. I love this portion of Thursdays and see myself doing this each week.
As a new feature of the Facebook page, I wanted to try adding a video promo for each week's upcoming show. I recorded this one with Markella for this week's show, as we're Co-Hosting.
