We were lucky to have Clairissa Wicks intern with us at WIVT/WBGH NewsChannel 34, the ABC and NBC television network affiliate located in Binghamton, New York. Immediately upon her arrival, we knew she would be an extremely valuable asset to our newsroom. Within her first week, we displayed to her the proper news writing techniques and Clairissa was attentive and learned very quickly. In just a short time, we were handing her stories to write that were featured on our evening newscasts. On one occasion, Clairissa was sent to a breaking news vehicle crash and was able to interview a first responder. We used this critical information for our coverage of the story. Clairissa displayed great interviewing skills as she talked to many different people in many different industries and trades. Clairissa showed up to work each and every day with and extremely positive attitude and a willingness to learn and experience whatever the day had planned for us. When working in news, no day is predictable. Clairissa was able to roll with the punches, so to speak, and overcame adversity to meet the deadline. Having a positive and optimistic attitude pays major dividends in the news industry. We were sorry to see her go at the end of the Summer and we knew she’ll continue being successful throughout her college years. With Clairissa’s attitude, attention to detail, and passion for learning new things, there is no question that she would be a valuable addition to any business or organization. Michael V. Tanzini
