NAIT NewsWatch - Volunteer to be Debt Free

Aired October 24, 2010, ACCESS Channel 9.

** This story won the NAIT Radio & Television Fall 2010 Star Award for Best Television News Report 3rd Semester ! Judged by Dan Kobe from CTV Edmonton ** !

During this week's show my task was "Live Reporter" which meant I had to do a package and live in-studio read! The story is about a proposed "Volunteer to be Debt Free" program by the Alberta Students' Executive Council.

I pitched the story idea, set up interviews, conducted the interviews, wrote and voiced the script, and I also shot and edited 90% of the package. There was also some assistance with classmate/friend Katie Kloet!

Overall I really loved the week! I loved how the package turned out and I got really great critique on both the package and the in-studio performance :) I have no complaints!!!

Oh wait -- one minor thing! I wasn't sure if this story was REALLY live reporter top news worthy. I had pitched both this one and one about the state of Alberta health care and everyone in the team including the producer & exec. producer AND myself, were more excited about this one. So we went with this one and the anchors took the health story! But that is my only minor qualm!
