Reporting live: Profiling WMJF-TV 16 News reporter Patrick Graham
Mass Communication major Patrick Graham will be graduating at the end of the semester. Although Graham joined the WMJF-TV just last year, he has covered many stories and has been an anchor for the stations newscast, 16 News.
“Being at the station has been a great experience for me,” he said.
Graham hopes that there will be more to come after graduation for his career in journalism, and thinks that as a journalist, he has grown to be the go-to person the community can rely on for information about what surrounds them.
