    Interning with USA Today College: The Saga Continues 

    Richard at USA Today

    By Dean’s Intern Richard Fields at USA Today

    In case you’re wondering why I look so happy in this picture, I will explain that shortly.  But first I’d like to start from the beginning.  Last semester I interned with USA Today’s Video Production Team, helping produce a number of their daily shows and even attended a red carpet event. This semester I’ve returned as an intern in the College section of their website, which I must say has been an exciting experience as well. (More …)

    On day one I realized this internship stood apart from the rest, as I immediately started working on one of their daily news shows, USA Now, the minute I walked into the newsroom. From finding visual content to support the story, to learning the tricaster and shooting the show, to editing and publishing the show to their website, I was quickly immersed into USA Today’s production team.
