ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Lauren Allenbaugh
Laura Allenbaugh graduated in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Electronic Media Production. She started with NBC after graduation and now works as a Producer at Nightly News with Brian Williams. She covers national events such as hurricanes, floods, politics and medical news. And her favorite - the Olympics!
Name: Laura Allenbaugh
Degree Received upon graduation: Bachelor of Arts
Graduation Year: 2003
Current Job: Producer, NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams
Brief description of your duties: Doing whatever it takes to get Nightly News on the air that evening. Sometimes I work from the building with an editor to put the piece together, sometimes I am out in the field with the correspondent and crew and other times I shoot and edit my own pieces for air.
How did AU and the broadcast/journalism department help you receive this job: Experience. I walked into the building knowing how to shoot and edit. I wasn’t allowed to do it right away, but when the company was looking for a way to cut costs, I was able to jump out into the field with a camera as well as train those who were learning to shoot and edit.
Also the career center was a huge help in getting my first job at NBC. It was a rigorous interview situation and they did several mock interviews, including setting up a panel interview, to get me ready.
What is your favorite aspect of the job: The people. I work with amazing professionals and I meet amazing people in our stories. I’ve spent a lot of time in small towns - Tuscumbia, AL - Olathe, KS – Butte LaRose, LA - and the people are always so gracious and kind. For the people who say that our country is derailing and people are no longer good, I’ve met a family who took in a girl with cerebral palsy who had been wasting away in a nursing home, a man who gave up his job and now volunteers to fix up cars for people in need, and a woman who, as she was packing her entire life into one small car to leave before a flood, offered me and my crew bottles of water.
Also I got spend 2 months in Vancouver for the Olympic which was very cool!

INTERNSHIP SPOTLIGHT: Clare Crawford
Clare Crawford will graduate in May with an Electronic Media Production major and Speech Communication minor. Her passion for video editing and television production was discovered back in high school when she produced various projects for her school, won awards for her news stories at TVT awards in Pennsylvania, and was executive producer of her high school television station WHHS Channel 96.
During her years at Ashland, Clare continued to gain knowledge in the mass media field by having her own radio show, holding the position of both News and Sports Producer for TV2, and interning with WEWS News Channel 5 in Cleveland, Ohio. After graduation she plans on working behind the scenes in television production in hopes of one day becoming a news reporter or advanced editor.
Internship: WEWS News Channel 5
Location of Internship: Cleveland, Ohio
“Job Title”: Production and Operations Intern
Favorite Part of Internship:
Being able to go out with reporters and cover the latest stories up close and personal.
Least favorite part of internship:
The only downfall was that it was not a paid internship and I had to drive 45 minutes to get there every day.
What will you take away from this internship for future jobs?
Experience. I was able to learn about every aspect that goes in to making a successful news station, everything from editing to field work to producing.
How did AU and the JDM department help you succeed in the internship:
The internship I received was an endowed internship that only goes to an Ashland University student. Dr. Gretchen Dworznik, the Internship Coordinator for the Journalism & Digital Media department, let me know about the opportunity and encouraged me to apply for it. The Career Development office also helped me to improve me resume which I needed to apply for the internship.
