Riviera’s Journalism and Broadcasting program has given me exposure to so many aspects of the industry, from working with news anchors and learning from professional news stations to competing in organizations such as STN and FSPA. Since starting the program in ninth grade, I’ve grown tremendously in my ability to research, write scripts, and feel confident on camera. The hands-on experience has allowed me to develop skills I know I’ll carry with me into college and beyond.
