The NPR Next Generation fellowship made me feel like a real journalist. Our field reporting experience allowed me to become a journalist.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had not heard of a program that gives you the full ability to be a journalist instead of a student, until Next Generation. For me personally, I felt like I could be myself. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a documentary journalist it was not easy to step away from the camera, but when I decided to report in my normal elements and record with a camera, the mentors were fine with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a visual driven generation, audio tends to be underestimated, it is important to learn that audio carries the perception to what we are viewing. <\/span><\/p>\n

One point that will stick with me is to never limit my creativeness, Next Generation Radio allowed me to find my worth and never let go of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The mentors continued to ensure that the stories us mentees produced were completely produced by us and if any corrections were made that we were satisfied with it. This is a small reflection of our creativeness, and a stepping stone to our ability. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a privilege to work with a team who allowed me to be creative on my own and really push my boundaries. <\/span><\/p>\n

I made it a mission to take advantage of this position and take initiative as much as I could, and the mentors were fine with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The corrective criticism I received was crucial, straight forward, but heartfelt. When mistakes were made it was crucial to learn from them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I asked my mentor if this program was similar to a normal day at work, the answer was yes. It was a relief to find I was enjoying my reporting experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could get used to this. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
