Student Stories
“The live aspect of News7 is a big draw for students. It sets the program apart, here in New England and across the country. I felt like I worked in a professional TV newsroom for two years. Now I work on-air as a reporter and weather anchor at WMTW-TV in Portland, Maine — a job I landed before I graduated.”
