Maine Channel Conclusion:

As the end of the semester winds down activities begin to wrap up. This semester was my first semester participating with the Maine Channel and it has definitely been a rewarding experience for me.

Although it has added a lot more to my plate in the busiest semester of my college career but it offers something you can't obtain inside a classroom, experience. Solving problems with students and no further help is a skill that is extremely valuable in the real world. Whether it's trying to figure out the evil switchboard, get audio through the cameras, or format a package you learn these things for the better.

This week I operated a camera and worked on a story for this weeks newscast. The studio camera was giving me a problem and would not play audio through the headset Me and other members overcame this problem and determined the reason for this was a faulty cable.

I would encourage all to participate in The Maine Channel with any interest at all. One of the freshman members that I talked to enjoys the Maine Channel so much he is considering a major change from engineering into journalism.

I made the switch from writing for print last year in the Maine Campus and new a member of the Maine Channel and have learned things and achieved experiences I never thought I would on a college campus, although this started out as a way for extra credit for a class, it has given me great experiences and knowledge that I will use next semester with the Maine Channel.
