[blockquote style=”style3″ cite=”Lydia Defranchi, BA Broadcast Journalism 2012″]I had some wonderful experiences in the broadcast department. I knew from the start of the program that I loved reporting, and (the) experience I had in broadcasting reinforced that. BYU’s Communications program absolutely prepared me to compete in the intense world of TV news. I’m not sure I could have won this Gracie without such great support from my classmates, my professors and my husband. Our teachers didn’t just pass along information, they mentored and pushed, and forced us to hone our skills. They answered emails at all hours of the day or night! And their guidance is what helped me learn so much and improve the way I did. Stepping into the professional world now has been so easy because of that precious mentoring.

When you can answer that, you understand what it means to be a journalist. At the end of the day, it’s not just about getting a paper printed or broadcast aired. It’s to understand what is and isn’t true.[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]
