Alaska Military Youth Academy cadets visit AKNS studio
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Alaska Military Youth Academy cadets recently visited the Alaska’s News Source newsroom to learn more about careers in media.
Daylin Alston, 17, said he was surprised to see how many moving parts are involved in building a newscast.
“I learned about how news stations work, how they operate, all the buttons, all the cameras. I didn’t know it was this big,” he explained. “It’s a big process.”
Cadets had the opportunity to visit with on-air talent and get a closer look at what happens behind the scenes.
“At first, I just thought you had to be able to talk in front of a camera and all that stuff,” 16-year-old Qmia Taala said. “I feel like maybe if I wanted to be working in this kind of industry that I would have more of a chance because I could work somewhere in the background with helping out.”
These AMYA cadets are looking forward to their upcoming graduation ceremony on June 12.
