Carolina Week Testimonial: From writing skills to on-camera comfort to vocal technique, Carolina Week has provided me with the skills to be a successful television journalist. The best part about the entirely student-run newscast is just that: we do everything! I didn't truly realize just how valuable that hands-on, one-man-band experience is until I graduated and entered the working world.

Take advantage of the resources Carolina Week and the J-School have to offer. If you do, you'll have a huge advantage compared to others entering the field. Ask tons of questions and listen to your professors. Trust me, they know what they're talking about. And have fun! Even late nights spent in the editing suites aren't so bad when you're passionate about the stories you're telling...Good luck!
