Sophia Maitino ’16 of Wynantskill spent part of her holiday vacation in WTEN’s news room. Sophia’s interest in journalism led her to spend a day with veteran news anchor John Gray, who has been friends with her mother, Michele Maitino, since elementary school. This connection meant that Gray took Sophia under his wing, explaining what elements come together to complete each nightly news broadcast. From cameras to the control room, Sophia gained a unique perspective on media production. The visit culminated with a live broadcast, which Sophia observed in the studio. One of the highlights, she said, was watching meteorologist Steve Caporizzo deliver the weather forecast in front of the green screen.
Congratulations, Sophia!
