Members of the Bright Futures After School Youth Group from the County South Family Resource Center recently visited WSYR-TV NewsChannel 9 as part of their ongoing career exploration journey. During a private tour, students had the exciting opportunity to watch a live 4:00 p.m. newscast and go behind the scenes of a working television station.
Students met a variety of professionals who help bring the news to life, including anchors, a meteorologist, a sportscaster, a director, and a producer. Through these interactions, they gained a better understanding of the many roles and skills needed to run a successful broadcast and media operation.
The group’s tour was led by Tim Fox, who also spoke with students about local colleges, internships, and potential career paths in broadcasting and media. Experiences like this help young people explore their interests, build confidence, and begin imagining their future goals. We are proud of our Bright Futures students for continuing to learn, grow, and take steps toward their futures.
