The past, present, and future of television news session had Patti Smith, president of KVUE-TV as a guest speaker for Mass Comm Week on Tuesday.
Smith was an inspiring guest speaker. She talked about all of the obstacles she has had to overcome to get where she is today.
She once had a professor give her a 'B' in a class where she knew she deserved an 'A', and when she asked about it he told her that women didn't belong in the news business.
"It didnt occur to me at the time that I was breaking gender barriers," said Smith.
She didnt give up, but worked harder and now Smith is the president and general manager of KVUE-TV, the ABC affiliate in Austin. " I absolutelly love what I do for a living," said Smith.
Smith is an example for Texas State students to continue to work hard for their futures.
