Internship Week 1 "First Impression"

My supervisors’ names are Diana Tavarez and Angela Legall- Morales. Diana Tavarez is the HR coordinator and she works within the HR department. Angela Legall-morales is the Tape librarian and she is in charged of NY1 news‘s videos. Both of my supervisors have their own little office.

Diana Tavarez is a very friendly, informative and caring person. She always smile when I arrive in NY1 and that makes me feel welcomed and she is always keeping me in touch with the subject . She is an assiduous and decisive worker. She assures that her tasks are due on time and she is quick at making decisions and that inspired me a lot. She is such an inspiring and competent person. I will be able to learn a lot from her during this internship.

Angela Legall-Morales is very communicative and humorous. I remember the first day of internship I had her and I was so shy and she said , “ Come a little closer, I won’t bite you” that made laugh and that day she spent most of the time teaching me about news industry. She is industrious and organized. She works hard and she is good at organizing things. I was impressed the first time I went to her library, she arranged all videos chronologically. That made it easier for her to look for videos to lend to people whenever they want to borrow videos from a specific period of time. I consider her as very impressive and optimistic person. I will also learned a lot from her during this internship.

Going to NY1 is very unusual for me because I’ve never been to Manhattan that often and I feel amazed just by seeing the streets. The streets are very calm and you see people walking and minding their own business. You see cars going up and down. I see many restaurant and clothing stores. When I am going to NY1 I pass through Chelsea market to get there because it’s located inside of it. Sometimes I stop to look at some clothes but sometimes I just walk directly outside without stopping because I want to get there on time. NY1 is a very silent and safe environment. All the workers are adults and I am the only high school intern around. The others are college interns. The place is enormous and there are still places I haven’t visited yet. Every workers has their own little office. There’s a place where editors, writers and producers corporate and you see a lot of offices together. There are some employees who have their office apart but some of them are in a big room together and each one has their own desk and computers.

In my internship I see news coordinators, employees, reporters , college interns and consumers.

So far, I have completed outreach with my supervisor Diana Tavares. I helped her create outreach from job postings and send to several schools in via email and upload copy of email to BrassRing. I also helped with shaklan HR coordinator. I helped her completed the 1000 hours report for freelance employees system. We used employees report and excel. With my other supervisor Angela-Morales, I created a written list for tapes to be archived.

I go intern in Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 2:30 Pm to 5:00 pm. In Mondays I work with Angela and Thursdays with Diana. In Friday it’s temporary, it’s whether Diana or Angela. It depends on who I had last Friday. I arrive at home around 6:20 Pm each day.

My internship is a really fun site and it offers many opportunities. I am still figuring out which department I want to work with. There are so many departments . I think it’s best if I try this one first and maybe later I will move to another one.
