<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">My name is Caitlin Kollar. I've been in broadcasting for seven years, and I've been producing for four and a half years. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I'm currently working as a freelance writer for Fox and Friends at Fox News in New York. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">College is when I discovered I wanted to go into broadcasting, but it wasn't until I actually started working that I realized the true impact of our business. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fffdf8; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I had just been hired as an Associate Producer for WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio, and I'd only been on the job a few days when our station covered the homecoming of Lima Company, 3/25 Marines. Hundreds of people lined the streets of Columbus to welcome home this battered unit from Iraq. I was moved to tears, as were many others in the newsroom, at the outpouring of support from our city to these troops. I learned that day the true power of telling a story and engaging an audience.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">When I choose stories or write stories, I do it with the viewer in mind. I choose stories that affect them the most, that can teach, empower, and engage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fffdf8; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">At WKYC-TV, I challenged myself to learn new skills and grow as a producer and employee. I began as a News Assistant, but through hard work and perseverance, I worked my way up to the role of 11 PM producer. I set out everyday to build a newscast with dynamic and engaging stories. But I've also focused on finding new, creative ways to present the story, working more production into the shows, while keeping up the pace. I also tried to engage the viewer through social media and other interactive segments in the newscasts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">While at WKYC, I was trusted to produce several specials for the station, including The Voice: Cleveland Votes, a local singing competition we put together; 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction special, live from the Rock Hall; and 2009, 2010, and 2011 Race for the Cure special, a live production of the race itself. Each of the specials involved a high level of organization and prioritization on my part, as well as managing and delegating to a crew of at least 10 people for each show. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I am also a multi-media journalist with experience shooting and editing stories for shows as well as other news platforms. </span></div>
