I almost always love anchoring, so I was excited for the chance to anchor a whole show. The energy in the newsroom was off this day. It seemed like everyone was overwhelmed and stressed out (more so than normal). I would like to think that affected my performance, but there are definitely things I will do differently the next time I anchor.
We also had lots of technical difficulties with this show. Our tech team is run by student volunteers, many of whom are freshman journalism majors. We are so appreciative of their hard work, and it’s worth noting that they sometimes stumble, just like the student reporters/anchors/producers.
