Don't Put your Lips on My Horn

I'm sitting at my desk looking up numbers for this big in-depth story I pitched, when I see assistant metro editor Meriam walking towards me. She sticks out her index finger and says, 'Anthony come here.' I was scared out of my mind -- middle school flashbacks!

This could not be good. But it was. Meriam showed me that the Associated Press picked up my ATV story. I was ecstatic, beside myself. I couldn't believe it. This has been one of the best internships I've had in terms of accolades. At least three front-page stories and this is just the mid-point. I've also shot three videos and edited two.

The managing editor Mckenzie and I set my summer goal for five videos. He also hinted to me about working here, but we'll leave that one alone for now. And now the AP story ...

They are using the photo as well, which I also shot. If this is how the first half is going, I hope it doesn't go down hill from here. Hopefully, something better, something Hearst- worthy.
