-: Well where I learned how to write for broadcast,
how to produce for broadcast.
I never shot, I never edited.
That changed basically the moment I graduated from school.
So now everyone can do everything.
But the one thing you really can't change,
is the ability to write and if you write well
that's your ticket out.
Good writing is often times hard to find.
You can tell a story visually but it really does help
to understand how you would present this
in the written word.
College education is really important for some people.
I know that it is not important for every student today.
But, if you are going to college
and you are thinking about this industry,
learning how to understand editing,
to really understand filmmaking,
to really understand how to write,
I think are all still great foundations for going into
this big wide world of entertainment,
media, sports, culture, journalism.
But don't limit yourself.
Take as many classes as you want that peaks your interest
because you don't know where you're going to land.
You don't know if you think that you're going to become
a news reporter in a local market.
That doesn't necessarily mean that you're not gonna cover
stories that are international in their scope
so learning about the world is super important so
taking as much poli-sci and international studies I think
are as important now as would be taking a
literature and writing class and economics.
I hated those kinds of classes.
I wished I'd paid more attention in those classes
because they are so important right now.
