KC Reporter Revels Secrets on How to be a Reporter
/
There are sooooo many comments we could make about WDAF Reporter Matt Stewart's blog post on his secret to become a TV Reporter.
But, we'll just let you read it and see what you think.
Stewart writes, I’ll admit it. I have a pretty cool job. I get to be on TV, like, every single day. I get to tell cool stories, meet famous people and tell jokes that make a whole city laugh. When I walk around town, chances are a couple people I’ve never met before will recognize me. It’s fun. Every day is different. I don’t sit behind a desk in an office. My desk is the live van, my office the entire viewing area. I get to be a part of big events: a front row seat at the President’s visit; on the front lines after a tornado hits; front and center at every crime scene and ribbon cutting. How cool is that?
Everywhere I go, people say, “Matt, I want to be a reporter like you. How do I do it?”
Up until now, I’ve kept my recipe for journalistic success a closely guarded secret lest some young up-and-comer try to use my formula to steal my job. But after much pressure from our adoring Fox 4 fans, I have decided to help all of you who hope to one day rule the airwaves. Heretofore is what you MUST do as part of your training to become a successful television reporter.
The "secrets" after the hop.
