Hello bloggers! Good news, I got the free lance commercial in Los Angeles! So I'm heading to California tomorrow, checking into a hotel and getting to work. It's not exactly news, but I'm happy to put more on air experience on my resume tape to send out. Since I'm a total multi-tasker I've also set up some interviews in San Diego for next week as well. I'll be meeting with Bruce Patch of CBS 8 San Diego and Irv Kass , old VP/News Director of NBC San Diego. Meeting those two people are really what I am most excited about. Growing up in southern California I always dreamed of working at stations like those. I'd love to be a little fish in that giant pond. First and foremost, I'm focusing on this shoot on Saturday. As I sit in bed, with my pineapple cocconut icecream reading scripts over and over again, I can't help but think of all the ways to take full advantage of my experiences in the next week. I'll blog and post pictures about beautiful Hollywood once I'm there, feel free to contact me with advice, or if you'll be in the area!
Stay tuned--
Jess

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog while looking at KODA and have enjoyed reading your blog and checking out your website. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in May 2008 with a journalism degree, also for broadcasting.
It took a year and I am finally working a multimedia/communications job, but it's not in news. I enjoy what I do, but still have this ache for news...
Anyway I just thought you seem like a good person to connect with and maybe commiserate with as well! How did you secure those meetings with the directors of the San Diego news stations? Those are pretty big markets.
Take care!
