"Tami is an expert in media and news. She shares her expertise, time and passion generously every day with new reporters, editors, and videographers. It's rare in this competitive employment situation that you meet someone who is willing to really work with those new to the industry and help them build their skills to succeed. You don't meet many people like Tami, who feel empowered when those she's worked with reach their potential." - Sehnita Joshua Mattison

"As producers and directors showed me the ropes during my first weeks at KMPH, I immediately noticed how much I had already learned in my short time with CCN. I have used my experience at CCN to help me as a feature reporter, and when I have filled in as an anchor. I will always be genuinely thankful for how much CCN taught and encouraged me. My experience at CCN was very helpful in the process to land a network job in a good market in such a competitive field." - Brian Loftus
