I thought Melissa Durrell was really attention grabbing when she spoke to us about her career as a TV news journalist. She told really engaging stories that held my attention, like what inspired her to become a reporter in the first place. She made it sound like a very exciting career, that required on-the-spot thinking. When she spoke about being on the scene of event, having no pre-thought out script of what questions to ask, and then having to interview someone sounded very exciting. I'd never really thought about the idea of being a TV news journalist before, but having Melissa come in to speak to our class changed that. It definitely sounds like an exciting career path, that would lead to many different opportunities. The idea of travelling to cover news stories interests me as well. The one thing that would be difficult about this career would be having to to think up interviews on the spot, knowing that you were live on the air.
