Inside Swoop in 90
My senior internship was with UNF'S School of Communication and Inside Swoop in 90, which exposed me to a variety of tasks and aspects related to the multimedia journalism industry. The assigned duties as an intern included:
-
The responsibility to write, produce, host and edit a 90-second news segments (Inside Swoop in 90) each day using The Associated Press services on current events and then edit using Adobe Premiere Pro.
-
The responsibility to write, produce, host and edit a weekly TV show for the School of Communication called CommConnect TV. I also broke down the full show into CommConnect social media videos to be posted on social platforms.
-
I also created my own special coverage show, where I covered the 2020 Election.
News Update:
Each day I completed a 90-second news update where I chose three international or national stories using AP Newsroom and then wrote, shot and edited my own show. This news update I covered Hurricane Eta, Coronavirus and a metro train that ran into a sculpture in the Netherlands.
Election News Update:
I created my own special coverage show where I covered the 2020 Election. In this update, I covered the results of the election, President Donald Trump and voter turnout.
CommConnect Tv:
Each week, I produced and anchored a show called CommConnect, which the School of Communication uses for news for students.
