Three Things I learned from Michelle Wright

I learned a lot listening to journalist Michelle Wright. Here are the top three things that I took away from her 9 a.m. talk.

1. Ask a lot of questions!

      Wright started as an inexperienced intern. Asking questions was how she learned, got better and moved forward in the business.

2. Be natural

      Wright related a story about being perfect and unnatural her first time on camera. Her producer did not mention her lack of mistakes but did notice her awkward perfection. Being natural helps you to relate to the audience.

3. Life is about people

    Journalists sometimes want to emphasize what has happened and how. However, Wright stressed that people and their stories are one of the most important things in the news.
