We all want to know what’s going on in the world.

We turn the television screen on, to countless options of which source we deicide to get our information from. CNN is one of the largest news outlets world-wide.

A few Georgia State University students, as well as myself, had the opportunity to explore the depth of the magic that occurs behind the scenes of the CNN news rooms. From the control room to the research room, CNN hirers for positions that may sometimes go overlooked. For example, there are people that are hired to put up post for the CNN Twitter account!

We were able to view live footage being aired, while watching weather correspondent, Jennifer Gray waiting to be cued to report on Hurricane Irma. The mood in the writers room was attentive, as journalist were working to cover the storm that had recently passed.

It was relieving to be exposed to the various routes that we could one day take when entering the field.

As  developing Journalists, the pressure of being told we must remain neutral, and the fear of skewing up on an interview on day or even with our public work one day is on. It was the calming words of CNN News Anchor Victor Blackwell, that put everything into perspective, “There is no absolute hero, there is no absolute villain.”
