(Rock Hill, S.C.) — Brandon Taylor, a news anchor in Columbia, S.C., told students at Winthrop University the news business isn’t as glamorous or lucrative as some might think, during the school’s annual Mass Comm Week. The three-day event, hosted by the Department of Mass Communication, included a series of speakers and panel discussions Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. Taylor, who was part of a panel of alumni working in media, graduated from Winthrop in 2007 with a degree in journalism. He is currently the co-anchor of News 19 This Morning at WLTX-TV, but he has also worked as a reporter for the CBS station in Myrtle Beach and as an anchor for the ABC affiliate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It’s so good to be back at Winthrop. You know it’s kind of a surreal experience to be back where it all started,” said Taylor.
