News Anchor Tips

Position Description
  • Students in this role will assist the Producer in all elements of news production including social media outreach.

  • Talents: ability to incorporate enthusiasm and appropriate emotional tone to each story, but not to give in to your emotions; ability to communicate with clarity, confidence, command and comprehension; ability to ad-lib; broad knowledge base, an acute sense of timing and mastery at multitasking.
