While studying journalism at Brown University this summer, I was fortunate to score an interview with Bill Hemmer of FOX News Channel.
What did you major in at Miami University?
I was a broadcast journalism major. I was able to take advantage of a fairly large media market, which was critical tome. As a sophomore, I had an internship at Channel 5 in Cincinnati and,as a junior, got hired primarily to work weekends. I took
a producer’s job and worked there for almost three years. The lesson is that it’s
very important to understand the value of an internship - whether it’s TV or anything else, people hire those they know. When it comes time to fill entry-level positions, if they’re familiar with you as a person, people will reach for you and you will be in a position to get the job.
How did you get to CNN?
