Comfortably under pressure

I've taken a job as a News Producer in Augusta, GA with News 12 WRDW.

I started on Dec. 31 and, with five days under my belt, I've already learned a great deal and am extremely glad I actually read some of those assigned reading a few months ago.

The thing I'm most pleased with is working with such smart and dedicated people. The team works as if we're the No. 1 market in the nation and that's a perfect enviornment for me.

I'm learning to operate iNews from scratch and adjusting to a new city and its officials. As of Friday, I wrote and updated several local and national stories, produced a quick block of a live newscast and will soon have my own show to produce.

I've become a sponge, soaking up all that I can. The journalism industry fills me with something that I can't explain. I think this is going to be a great start for my career and as I get more comfortable with the position, you can bet I'll thinking of and start blogging about some new ideas.

I'm leaving you with the song that's been stuck in my head all week.

Under Pressure. 

I mean -- that's where I've always wanted to be and I'm finally there.
