Reporters covered the following stories:

3. FSU & FAMU firearm incidents - VO/SOT/VO
4. Tuition Control at FSU & UF - VO/SOT/VO
5. Quran Burning - VO/SOT/VO
I opened the newscast with the recent incidents involving firearms on both Florida State and Florida A&M campuses. One of our reporters was live in the studio for the introduction of her package on the Amtrak Hearing. It's a big deal for the Tallahassee area since commercial trains haven't been used in nearly six years.
I started B-block with the school shooting in Ohio. We stayed abreast of the story throughout the day to make sure that we had the latest updates. We concluded the newscast with a recap of the Oscars in E-block.
Today was rather...blah. We lacked time management and communication as a news team. Our technical director was upset and told us the importance of paying attention to details and keeping a positive attitude.
