Wisdom Martin

Wisdom Martin visited our class today and discussed his life before Fox 5. He obtained his first job in his sophomore year as a TV photographer for WAPT and after he graduated from Jackson State University and spent 4 years as an anchor/reporter at WKRN in Nashville, Tennessee. He also branched out in other markets such as Fresno, California, Atlanta Georgia and other places who helped shaped his career. His book Intentional Grounding has received great reviews. Its in a league of its own and it has never been done before. Martin book focuses on the challenges and hardships African American Quarterbacks in the NFL have faced during their career. His visit made me reflect the last two years of my college education and how far behind I feel when compared to his route. Smaller markets are perfect for establishing careers and building a name for yourself. Working at multiple stations gives your resume variety.
