As a Communications major as well as Theatre Arts and Sexuality, Women&#8217;s, and Gender Studies double minor, the media day focused on everything that I love in many forms, and I eagerly awaited that Thursday morning to look in depth at where my future may be.<\/p>\n<div>One of the most impactful meetings of the day for me was at a taping and tour of the studio for Democracy Now!, an independent news program. Amy Goodman, one of the hosts, is someone I look up to, and to be able to speak with her was an opportunity that I never imagined. Touring the entire floor and meeting various staff members gave me an overwhelming feeling of belonging, and I knew in the moment that I hopefully will be able to work in a very similar place, if not there. Democracy Now! puts together many of my interests including broadcast television and radio, political discussion and activism, as well as reporting. I have never felt like I have found a job I would truly enjoy until this day.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/ship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Gonzalez1-300x169.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-596\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/ship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Gonzalez1-300x169-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">(We got to sit front row to watch a live taping of the show.)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Democracy Now! was also very open to accepting interns from our camp if we choose to apply in the future, and the fact that I have\u00a0gained connections in the media field through the camp is priceless.
