The GAAH Press Club visited WZZM 13, and was given a tour by Executive Producer Matt Campbell. Afterward, each of the GAAH Press Club Reporters sat down and wrote about what they saw and learned. Below is Omar's description of his experience at WZZM. Omar is 12 years old.

 

On November 15, 2011, the Press Club went to the WZZM 13 studio. When we got there, Matt Campbell showed us around. First, we went to the Information Center, where he showed us the sports and news reporters. After we saw all of them, we went to the Weather Deck, where we saw a new HD camera and a green screen.  
 
After we saw that, we went to the control room where there were many cameras and controls. The producer also sits there and checks to see if everything is okay. After that, we went to the Main Control where a guy was working at many different places at once. Next, we went to the studio and saw where they broadcast and do segments. Lastly, we saw many photographs of celebrities and guests in the guest waiting room. That was the end of the tour.  
 
My favorite part was going to the studio and reading from the teleprompter. I hope I can go again!
