“The PNN experience has been an amazing three years, climbing up the ladder of Penn’s multimedia studies. I’ve found what I want to do in life and what I really enjoy doing, and I could not have done it without the amazing experiences I had through Mr. McNulty and his variety of classes.”
2015 graduate Tyler Noie is one of PNN’s senior reporters. He focuses on rundown and cameras while shooting show, preferring the behind the scenes action to the desk. He has been with PNN for 2 years and has created many memorable packages and shows. With his guidance, many new students have been able to take an active part in the creation of PNN.
