Travel Channel Academy Santa Barbara

It is hard to believe that four days have gone by so quickly.

But the results were great, and everyone learned a lot.

There are now forty new certified Travel Channel Academy Journalists, and as VP Sue Norton explained this afternoon, they will soon be producing for the Travel Channel’s website and if they’re lucky for air as well. Most Haunted, the series, is now almost entirely produced by the TJs. More series are in the works!

Congrats to all.  Next stop, DC.
