• Full Name:
Andrea Peterson
  • Undergraduate:

* Texas Tech '06 - English, Sociology, Anthropology, & Social Work

  • Graduate:
* Boston University '10 - MS, Broadcast Journalism
  • Interest in Broadcast Journalism\Experience:
I worked for two years at Aspatore Books, a Thomson
Reuters Business as an Editorial Project Manager before deciding to
return to Boston University to earn my Master in Broadcast Journalism.
CBS Sunday Morning was my initial hook to broadcast journalism.
  • Thoughts on ThirtyOn10:
Even though a “picture is worth a thousand words,” Charles Osgood’s
writing style says more than a thousand visuals. Telling a stories
growing up was natural for me, but with a visual and aural focus. It
could be through dance, trumpet, or even writing. I don’t just hear
music; I see it. It is more than just eighth notes and dramatic
crescendos; it is the war and fall of a Russian empire and a soldier’s
last march to battle. A dance isn’t just a mixture of glissade
derrières and arabesques, it is a passionate lovers pas de deux.
  • Future Aspirations:
Life is not factory lines.
Life moves, changes, varies, and offers unexpected textures. This is
the life I seek in broadcast journalism. Any live show would be
exciting. I am an in the moment kind of person and love to be kept on
my toes. Besides, news is about the ‘now’ and what better way to do
news than live. I refuse to accept a stale belief that what I know at
this very moment is all I need to know the rest of my life. I hope to
one day be a producer or director of a news magazine such as CBS
Sunday Morning or 60 Minutes but in the meantime I enjoy editing
long-form documentary style stories.
