South Bend Station Hires 22 Year Old as Anchor
/
They just keep getting younger and younger.
WNDU in South Bend has announced that they have hired 22 year old Joshua Short as their new Sunday morning Anchor.
“It’s surreal, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I’ve earned everything that I’ve done, through hard work, dedication, passion and a will to learn and get better."
He added: “It’s just a blessing, and I wouldn't have imagined this a year ago.”
His former instructor, Columbia College associate professor Yolanda Joe, was his "journalism mother" Short said.
Joe called Short one of her best students.
"He's a good guy who's on his way," she said, adding that she did everything she could to help prepare him for his career, such as having him cover breaking news.
"He's funny, helpful, hardworking. And if you ask him to do two things, he'll do four. He's the kind of person you want to be in your newsroom," Joe said.
