Young reporter spreads the news.

CARLY Williams decided to become a television anchor (电视节目主持人) when she was in sixth grade. “One day, we went out into the forest and did some reporting on forest fires,” Carly said. “Ever since then, I’ve loved it and I’ve been trying to do it as much as I can.”

Now 15, Carly reports for the NaFo News, a broadcast (广播电视) news program at her school – Nation Ford High in South Carolina, US. She has interviewed many big names including famous basketball and TV stars.

“Carly is a great student and I’m sure she will do something truly special in journalism (新闻业),” said Carly’s broadcast teacher.

Her most recent achievement came when Carly got a call from Teen Kids News in New York. She had sent them a few segments (节目片段) she shot (拍摄) for her school news program. Teen Kids News is on over 200 TV stations around the US. The producer (制片人) of the show said he liked what he saw and asked if Carly would film a segment for them.

“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes!” Carly said. “I didn’t even think for a second.”Carly spent five days learning about Teen Kids News in New York. She also visited a former reporter for Teen Kids News and got some advice.

Her first task was to anchor a segment about an artist’s pumpkin field. Carly said she worried about working with a new team because she wanted to impress the producer. Although under great pressure, she did a wonderful job.
