\"Michael<\/a>Michael Kornegay of Hot Springs has been hired as Content Editor\/Assistant Producer at KATV Channel 7 in Little Rock. He is scheduled to start February 12, 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kornegay is a 2013 Digital Cinema Production graduate from Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia. He made a name for himself as a student intern at KATV during the summer of 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile attending SAU, Professor [Marek] Dojs always said, \u2018Anything is possible.\u2019 I really bought into that concept. So when I wanted to intern at the top news station in Arkansas, he said, \u2018Why not?\u2019\u201d said Kornegay. \u201cAfter the summer, I left Channel 7 knowing I wanted to return one day to work there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately after graduating from SAU, the University transitioned Kornegay from a part-time student worker to a full-time videographer\/photographer in SAU Communications. He worked with Aaron Street, Assistant Dean for Integrated Marketing and Media Relations, to film and edit videos and commercials promoting SAU\u2019s \u201ccomplete college experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>Their work can be seen on SAU\u2019s YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com\/SAUmag<\/a>, including the Fall 2012 hit \u201cMulerider Style<\/a>.\u201d Kornegay and Street earned \u201cBest of Show\u201d honors from the Service Industry Advertising Awards for this spoof of Psy\u2019s \u201cGangnam Style.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile working at SAU I have achieved and learned a lot of things. I will never forget when Aaron and I found out we won Best in Show for his crazy idea of Mulerider Style,\u201d said Kornegay. \u201cThere will always be a place in my heart for this University and the friends I have made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kornegay is uncertain where this move to the news industry will take him, but he hopes to work his way up the ladder at Channel 7.<\/p>\n
