Community Engagement
Throughout the internship, it was important for me to actively participate in various station events, with an aim to increase listener awareness and solidify our new brand. I attended community events like the Norfolk State Foundation 5k with alumni and other WNSB staff. Also, we participated in the Alzheimer's walk in both Chesapeake Park and Newport News, where we jointly engaged with attendees and promoted our station.
These experiences not only allowed me to connect with our community but also provided opportunities to demonstrate the ease of accessing our station through the app, thereby expanding our listener base.
...I enjoyed having the ability to mentor a few fellow interns, sharing my knowledge and skills to help them develop their unique broadcasting styles.
