You
never
know
what
will
happen
when
you
try
something
new
at
Baldwin
Wallace.
From
the
moment
Madeline
Carter
'19
stepped
into
the
studios
of
WBWC
88.3
FM
The
Sting
to
try
reporting
the
news
on
the
student-run
radio
station,
she
was
hooked
on
a
career
in
broadcasting.
Carter says, "As a radio DJ and eventually the news director of 88.3 FM The Sting, I learned how to provide entertainment, information and encouragement to our listeners, and I had fun in the process!"
She credits her time at The Sting for her current success as a morning TV news anchor. "My job at the radio station allowed me to be myself and get comfortable in my own skin, which I now realize is a rare and coveted skill in the TV industry."
On
top
of
Carter's
award-winning
campus
radio
experience,
she
grew
in
her
internship
at
Cleveland's
WJW
Fox
8
News.
It
gave
her
the
opportunity
to
network
with
long-tenured
news
anchors
and
make
connections
across
the
nation
through
the
network
of
local
Fox
affiliates.
Carter eventually landed a job as a news anchor for NBC Right Now/KNDU - Kennewick, Washington. She co-hosts the Wake Up Northwest show from 4:30-7 a.m. Carter says, "Every weekday morning, I get to start the day waking viewers up with a smile across Eastern Washington and Oregon ... I love what I do!"
