It was just an ordinary day at church for 15-year-old Rodger Wyland or at least so he thought. He would soon realize that this day was the beginning of a long career ahead of him. Standing in front of the whole church Wyland would get up and begin reading scripture, but this time was different. After the service finished Wyland was approached by the general manager of a local radio station in town. He was intrigued by his voice and asked if he’d ever be interested in a job in radio because of the potential he saw in Wyland.
From that day on Wyland never stopped working in journalism. He was always fascinated by TV but in order to get there he worked in all areas of the broadcast. Anyway, Wyland could get involved he wanted to, and he did. Wyland experienced journalism at such a young age he has been able to watch journalism evolve throughout the years. For instance, the way he covers breaking news in sports.
“There is nothing like being able to break news in the 6:20 sportscast,” said Wyland.
Unfortunately, now social media is a main source for breaking news. This being one of the main changes since he started. Wyland could’ve chose to switch careers when things changed but he said he could never see himself doing anything else. Journalism is what he knows.
