I\u2019m so excited that you\u2019re here, and I can\u2019t wait to share my journey with you. My name is Peyton, and I\u2019m currently a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, pursuing a degree in Journalism with a focus on broadcast news journalism. Though I\u2019m still early in my college career, having spent just over a year here, I\u2019ve already learned so much about the world of journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have recently become a producer and director for a one of our news programs here on campus with UWW-TV, as well as being talent on a different news broadcast. I\u2019m eager to dive even deeper into this exciting field. I have two undergraduate research programs coming up this summer including a two week long storm chasing documentary I’m creating. I’m also traveling to DC to do research on how news rooms in DC use AI in the everchanging world of journalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little bit about me: In addition to my academic pursuits, I\u2019m also a passionate swimmer. I proudly compete on the swim team here at Whitewater, and being a college athlete is something I take very seriously. Balancing academics and athletics is challenging at times, but it\u2019s also incredibly rewarding. The discipline, dedication, and time management skills I\u2019ve gained as an athlete have translated into my studies, helping me stay focused on my goals both in the pool and in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My love for journalism started at a young age, and it\u2019s grown stronger with every passing day. The idea of telling stories that inform, inspire, and sometimes even challenge others is something that truly excites me. Whether it\u2019s through writing, broadcasting, or creating engaging content, my ultimate dream is to become a news reporter\u2014someone who can help people stay informed and connected to the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m so thrilled to embark on this journey, not just as a student, but as someone who is committed to learning, growing, and making a difference in the world of journalism. I hope this blog will be a space where I can share my experiences, insights, and passions with you. Stay tuned for more posts, and thank you for joining me on this adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
