Knowing how to edit and produce your own material is crucial for young reporters today! And learning how to speak with an authentic voice is critical for today’s viewers. My advice to young journalists would be to learn as many aspects of reporting as possible. What is your advice for young and aspiring journalists? I can happily say that Monday Night Football was a line on my resume but certainly not the last line on my resume. Obviously, I learned from it and grew from it. That was 17 years ago and is thankfully in my rear-view mirror, but I will never forget the pain of that experience. Thank God I reached out to my dad and to a therapist for help. So these things combined for a horrible experience. Being bullied daily in the press not based on performance but based on my image was devastating. The criticism I took was out of bounds and way over the top. That, coupled with the fact that the media was brutal to me and focused on my looks, my sexuality, and “slut-shamed” me for having been a cheerleader, and model. Someone yelling at you in an IFB is not conducive to a great performance. I also had a boss who was a “screamer” which was incredibly toxic in an environment where you’re doing live television in front of millions of viewers. So I was stuck in a job that I didn’t want and wasn’t qualified for. I had never done sidelines before and in fact, had turned down several opportunities.

My background was as a sports anchor, host, and reporter doing long-form sit-down interviews. But right before the season started, they decided to make the job the traditional X’s & O’s position it had always been. I was hired as the sideline reporter after the executive producer told me that the role would be different… Much more feature-oriented and broader than simply injury updates and the typical question or so after the game to a player or coach. I’d love to say it was a wonderful experience, but it wasn’t.

How was your experience reporting for ‘Monday Night Football’? Technology makes it so much easier to gather the information I need quickly and accurately. But thank God we have this technology!Īnd of course, a huge part of my job is doing the research before we ever shoot one frame of video. I try to be one on one with my victims, experts, or the “bad guys” in my stories whenever possible, but with the challenges from the pandemic and other travel restrictions, we have to do a lot of shoots over Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. How does it feel to be a journalist in the digital age… now with streaming being so prevalent?īeing a journalist in the digital age has its challenges.

It is an honor and privilege to help tell their stories and seek justice on their behalf. I am motivated by helping to shine a light on their experience and to help bring closure to them. They may have lost their life savings, their home, or even a loved one. Because I am an investigative Correspondent, these are victims of scams and crimes. I am motivated every day by the victims who have trusted me with their stories.
