Shannon Longworth '14, an investigative reporter and anchor for Straight Arrow News, visited the Sacred Heart Multimedia Journalism via Zoom on October 1. She spoke to students and coached the anchors.
Broadcast Journalism is not merely an elective at our school. It is the first step of a lifelong journey for many students. Our alumnae go on to study at top media and filmmaking programs around the country such as USC, Syracuse University, NYU, Northwestern, and Elon.
One out of every three broadcast alumnae pursue careers in communications, media, or filmmaking. Sacred Heart Greenwich alumnae are currently working at Netflix, HBO, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Sesame Workshop, Disney, and NBC News.
Our Alumnae Media Network group is a resource for Sacred Heart Greenwich alumnae who work in the media, television, film, social media, and communications fields. We connect graduates of Sacred Heart Greenwich who work in the media with current students and share opportunities for networking events, internships, mentorships, and job listings.
Our goals:
1. Provide resources and networking opportunities for alumnae who work in the media field.
2. Create an alumnae network to help educate our current students about majoring in media in college and career advice.
3. Share opportunities for networking events, internships, mentorships, and job listings.
To learn more, go to the Alumnae Media Network LinkedIn page or @lightscameraheart.
Sacred Heart Greenwich seniors Olivia Christensen, Lé-Anne Johnson, Eloise Moulton, Isabelle Pipher, Sofia Pye, and Lilly Thompson will study film, journalism, and media at their respective universities next year. These five seniors will utilize the skills they have learned in Sacred Heart’s media programs to pursue their passions in the news and communications industry.
