INTERVIEW BY Team 51 (chapter links below)
Reporter Perspective by Elsie:
In this interview, the students of DPNews explained their processes of how they prepare for an interview. Before the camera was rolling we went on a tour of the media room and we saw how the news anchors write their own scripts and how there is a camera near the teleprompter so when they are reading their script it looks like they are looking at the camera. One thing that was a common theme was that you can start by knowing nothing about media programs and end up being a student producer.
