Today we are boosting our strong broadcast history into 21st century-style news reporting. We're combining new broadcast tools with traditional news sense. We want to answer your questions about your school and your community. WMUA News provides daily updates at nine and noon, as well as a full half hour of student-produced local news at five p.m.
Anchors learn and practice digital sound editing, vocal technique and news judgment.
The News team provides valuable training for aspiring journalists and broadcasters - daily news broadcasts, real deadlines, real production, real reporting. WMUA anchors and reporters are students and produce their own stories about local events. Anchors are the backbone of the WMUA broadcast. No element of the news is as irreplaceable. The performance of an anchor is of critical importance, since the anchor is the filter through which the audience is presented the news.
