Ashley Eggleston is working as the Feature Producer for Eagle Vision this year. Ashley loves the aspect of news that involves telling people’s stories. She sees journalism as an opportunity to tell the stories of our society and specifically Biola’s campus. Ashley also enjoys entertainment news and uses Biola’s location to get into L
A as much as possible. Ashley is currently interning with The Buried Life and hopes to work with a company like it, which combines some of her favorite things: television, living life to the fullest, and helping others.
“I chose broadcasting because of the opportunity it provides to bring the light of Christ into our culture today. There is nothing like live television and it’s influence is evident in our lives. I see television as a way to bring positive change to our culture as well as keep people informed and concerned with the world we live in.”
Fun Fact: Ashley is obsessed with going to TV show tapings and award shows. She also love to dance… anywhere… anytime.
“I want to combine my love of sports and my passion for journalism to be a sideline reporter. I grew up in a family who’s motto was ‘a family that plays together stays together’, so a love for sports was ingrained in me at a young age. I love the energy, excitement, and environment of sports, and can’t think of a more exciting field to enter.”
Major: Broadcast Journalism
Ky Sisson likes asking people tough questions. An investigative journalist at heart, Ky loves to get out the shovel and dig for truth. Born and raised in Reno, Nevada, Ky worked as an editor for his high school newspaper. He also hosted and produced a morning television show with a friend at Manogue High School in Reno. Upon choosing to attend
Biola University, Ky hit the ground running covering stories such as Occupy L.A., Dr. Conrad Murray trial, and the Seal Beach salon shooting. He is currently an intern at NBC Nightly News and works at Eagle Vision as the web producer as well as a reporter.
“I chose broadcast journalism not because I want to be on television. I truly believe TV is the best medium to fight for the “little guy”. I want to shine light in dark places through television because I believe it has the power to demand change.”
Fun Fact: One time on his TV show in high school, Sisson said “peace corpse” instead of “peace corps”. Oh the power of live television.
“I love broadcast because it is a career that is always changing and on the go. Stories are all very different and the possibilites are endless. I want to be a reporter when I graduate and see where the career takes me. My dream job would be to anchor a big morning show like Good Morning America”
