It has been a very eventful month between my classes and my internship! The last time I went to my internship I actually went to the PENTAGON with Stars and Stripes reporter, Megan McCloskey.
I sat in on a press conference in the actual press room to listen in on an interview with an Admiral aboard a ship in the Mediterranean Sea! The focus was of course on the controversy in Libya. It was extremely interesting to not only hear from Admiral Gerard Hueber, but to also hear the questions from the 30 some people seated in the room.
There was a military official directing the entire conference. He chose whose turn it was to speak and ask questions. I was able to watch the journalism process in action in the same room as Barbara Starr from CNN and from Dave Martin from CBS, who visited our class a few weeks ago.
I even was back in the Radio and Print offices before and after the actual conference. I was able to speak with people from Stars and Stripes, Reuters, and Politico! It was truly the most incredible experience I have had thus far in D.C.
I cannot express how important an internship is while in this great big city. It's getting me even more excited for graduation - I just want to get out and be the real thing!
