Lyne Pitts Reflection

566 Words3 Pages

Sometimes just going to class and having lecture can become a dreaded routine for college students. Those days where we can just step away for a moment and hear first hand what people in the industry deal with can become more valuable than just reading from a book. Lyne Pitts, television news journalist and now managing editor for The Root, visited the class in September. Our Broadcast Journalism II class also had the pleasure of meeting Anna-Lysa Gayle, Ashley Pulliam and Emmy Vicor, recent Howard graduates now pursuing their careers in the field. During the visit with Lyne Pitts, she gave some valuable information on the importance of being a good communicator and building relationships in this line of work. Aside from this, one of the things she said that mostly resonated with me was that hard work will get you there, but relationships get you further.

Actually being here now all I focus on is the struggle that I go through daily, but actually hearing that it was all meaningful assures me that everything I’m going through has a purpose. Ashley Pulliam shared with the class troubles she has encountered at her work place being a black, educated, female in this industry. There’s going to be people out there that try to put you down just because of who they assume you are. Having thick skin is going to get you through it all. Sometimes you have to let your talent speak for itself and let those who don’t believe in you see your worth. These words of wisdom our guest speakers have given us so far have really meant a lot to someone like me who is trying to get her start in the industry. Being able to take the things I learn in the classroom and apply them to the newsroom will make me an asset, as people will see the greatness in me. These guests are awesome, keep them

    One quote she gave me this past week, strongly stood out to me which was; “I could share all that I have done and the accomplishments that currently make up my resume, but I believe what truly matters at the end of the day is the question, "did I love others today? " Love 's root is not a feeling, it is an action. It can be shown through a variety of simple ways, such as the sacrifice of my time or a completion of a task for another. And when you can show this way of living life to another and they take it on for themselves, this is what I call success.”. It is so obvious especially in this quote that she determines success different from the rest of us.

    Clare Boothe Luce stands in front of an audience at the Women's National Press Club in 1960 to deliver a speech about the issues and successes of the American Press.

    Cerebrating about the topic, I cannot avail but cerebrate about my current work I do with my Pawpaw. Often when I come to work for him, it becomes pellucid that I misunderstand him and his co-ascendant figure.
