Personal Narrative: My Experience At Tawes Hall

495 Words2 Pages

I did not realize what a personal impact it would make as I wandered my way into the basement of Tawes Hall. From my first day volunteering at the Capital News Service (CNS), the University of Maryland’s student-ran broadcast news channel, I could tell I was surrounded by some hardworking people that were very passionate about what they were doing.

The popular saying “the medium is the message” which has been coined by many famous authors, really fueled my drive to learn more about television production. It’s extremely important to use the medium, which is television, to get content out to the audience that has the right message and
