Paula's Blog

Hey everyone,
My name is Paula, but you can just call me Paulinha. I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil and moved to Michigan 5 years ago.
I have just graduated 2 weeks ago with a bachelors degree in Communications (Electronic Media) from U of M - Dearborn, and this is a pretty exciting week for me.
I have started as an intern at FOX 2 Detroit's Web Team, and I'll be publishing stories on our website and shooting some stuff for the website once in a while (I still have no idea of what that means, but I'm sure I'll find out soon), so I hope you all read and watch it all, and make sure to leave your comments.

This week was training week for us interns and I got to learn a lot and also walk around the office and meet some pretty cool people. I also got to sit at the Control Room during the 5pm show and was fascinated watching the director and switcher doing their thing. Believe me, that room is awesome! It's nuts because it's live, and people are so into the show... I just loved it!

The other highlight of the office, as funny as it seems, is the restroom. You will not believe how cool that place is! They have everything there, from make-up kits to flat irons and such. The girly girl in me just freaked out.

Well, I was writting this while a video was loading on my computer, and it is almost done now, so I gotta go back to work.

I'm pretty excited and I think this will be a great summer, so guys, wish me luck!

Talk to you guys later!

Good luck Paula , and welcome to the blogs ! On a personal note , I'm sick and tired of Fox News hiring all of these hot chicks [ you included ] as interns and not me ! The least they could do is to hire some ugly chicks , and not make me feel so bad .

hey shockhazard, thanks for the comment (and the compliment!), but I think the secret is actually going through your school's internship department. Every intern here comes from all kinds of universities and through internship offices.
Good luck!

Good luck Paula and welcome. I worked for many yrs. as a broadcast engineer and you're right the control rooms are impressive. My nose was always behind and underneath that equipment though, tangled up in all the wiring. It was great work.

With your young age, it's probably hard for you to even phantom that when we worked in the TV station, we had no computers, no phones, or any modern convienences. Instead, we ran outside, posted notes to passenger pigeons, and sent them on their way.

Welcome to the blogs, Paula.

Paula,

Welcome to the blog's. I won a prize in December and when I picked it up I got to see the booth and it was to say the least impressive. The nickel tour didn't stop at the restroom and honestly I'm not broken up about it. The thing I was most impressed with is the hospitality. I hope you enjoy your time, and whereever you end up, that you take the humanity with you.

NOt to pick on your but if your going to be a reporter then you need to know what a robbery is as deinfed by law.

taking of ones properity by force or threat of force. IE using a gun to take something from someone.

A home cannot be Robbed if there was no one home that could have felt a threat to themselves. that would be a buglery

Just words but they do have meaning.
