Music in the newsroom!

It started as a typical morning in the newsroom. We had a budget meeting and all was going well. My editor was speaking about the budget and current stories one minute, the next minute he was playing guitar with another journalist playing cello!

They will be performing next thursday at Cooper’s Landing River Port Marina with Thai barbecue being served, yum!

He sang about the tropical storm Isaac and gave the newsroom a relaxing feel from the stress of deadlines. I was very surprised, but it definitely was a pleasant one.

I’ve realized that when working in the newsroom and interviewing people I’ve been able to learn more about the community and about other people. The environment, although stressful, can be fun and enjoyable because everyone is relatively good-natured.

I’ve been more able to discover the community and learning communications skills in the process.
