The visit, described by CBS 7’s own Matthew Alvarez as “awesome,” provided a practical glimpse into the world of broadcast journalism for these eager young minds.
The group, primarily composed of participants from the school’s student broadcast program, had the chance to see firsthand the inner workings of a professional newsroom. This experience is invaluable for students with aspirations in journalism and broadcasting, offering them a closer look at the technologies and processes behind the news they see on television.
“Today was awesome! We had this incredible group from Fort Stockton High School in our studio for a tour!” Alvarez shared enthusiastically about the visit. He also noted the potential he saw in the visiting students, stating, “They all have bright futures ahead! Thanks for visiting!”
The highlight of the tour was captured in a photo by Tristan Barragan, marking a memorable moment for the students and their hosts alike. Such visits not only educate but also inspire students by providing them with real-life examples of the careers they might pursue.
