Touring/ The Perfect Topical

Michaela, who serves as the stations tour coordinator/guide, requested that I help her deliver a tour to a group of media students from the Art Institute of Philadelphia. Michaela split the group in two and there it was-- the first time I've ever given a tour of the station. I have to admit, I was VERY nervous. I can understand that public speaking is very important in my profession, but for some reason, I was terrified. I just felt like I wasn't ready. I felt like I was rushing through the building, giving wrong information and stumbling alot. In the end though, I got a very good review and my audience was pleased with their tour. I'm assuming this will be the first of many tours to come!

In addition to giving a good tour, I was especially proud of my topical writing today. As always, Mara reads my topicals every day and gives constructive feedback on how I can improve them. Well, today I submitted the document for review and she had nothing to correct. She said it was flawless and needed no further corrections!

Here it is:

A man causes a frenzy after a security breach at the Philadelphia International Airport. Action News has the exclusive video of the intruder in action.

Then-

New details in the Jerry Sandusky case! What several alleged victims are now telling investigators.

Plus-

I'm meteorologist Cecily Tynan. Yet another mild day but I'm tracking a wet start for the weekend ahead. More details in the ACCU weather forecast.

AND-

It's an end to an era for free checking at one major bank. Find out if you'll have to pay fees for your checking account.

Tonight at 11.
