KOCT will air, beginning on June 5th, our Special Edition: High School
Spectrum featuring video students from both
El Camino and Oceanside High Schools. High
School Spectrum is a good example of KOCT’s student intern service. We have
developed an effective workforce development program that provides real world
experience for high school and college students .
One of our student interns can now be seen
nightly on the local NBC affiliate NBC 7 as a Reporter. Elena Gomez graduated from Chapman University in 2009,
with a Bachelor’s in Television and Broadcast Journalism and minors in Public
Relations and Spanish. In college, Gomez received the “Most Promising Broadcast
Journalist” award, one of Chapman University’s most prestigious honors for
broadcast students. After graduation she worked as an editor for the NBC 7 News
Today for over a year.
Throughout her college years and after, Gomez worked at
KOCT. There she experienced true hands-on-training by editing, writing,
producing and reporting stories along with working as an assistant director,
camerawoman and floor director for larger productions. She received W.A.V.E.
and S.T.A.R awards for reporting excellence and an award from the San Diego
Society of Professional Journalists for producing an in-studio talk show.
In September 2011, Elena earned a spot as a news associate
for NBC 7, working as a multimedia journalist where she shot, edited, wrote and
reported daily stories for the evening newscasts. She is currently a Reporter
for NBC 7, San Diego.
One of our current part-time employees is Andrew Jimenez, one of KOCT's newest editors/cinematographers.
He attended San Diego City College's Radio, TV, and Film Department for a
certificate in Documentary, Film, and Video Production. He received his bachelor's degree in
Communications with an emphasis in Digital Media from CSU Bakersfield. He has
also worked with NFL Films as a camera operator and produced his own feature
film. He recently produced a short program about KOCT’s Internship
