Last Tuesday, I know I should have posted it sooner, we had the opportunity to go and see a local 10 o'clock news cast. Marc is taking an Intro to Broadcasting class to finish his elective credits. I always wanted to take the class but couldn't ever fit it into my schedule. I was excited for Marc to take it. His teacher is a news anchor for a local news channel, part of an assignment was to go and watch a live news cast. Since it was late and only 4 students from the class were going at that time, I got to tag along. We had to drive to Idaho Falls, it poured the whole way, for a little bit we couldn't even see the road! It was a lot of fun to see how they work. Of course it is a small area, so it wasn't as big as some at home I'm sure, actually, when I asked how they deal with breaking news, they didn't have a straight answer, they never really have to add to or change a script during a news cast. I was going to take the camera, but Marc didn't think I would be able to take a picture of him at the news desk, he was wrong, and I left the camera at home! It was a lot of fun to learn about, it kind of made me wish I would have pursued that dream a little more! Oh well. If you ever get a chance to go and see a live news cast, do it.
