A student who successfully completes 3312 should be prepared for entry-level positions in television journalism. Three S-VHS videocassettes are needed by the third lecture. Tapes are available at Radio Shack. Keep everything you shoot because the material may be helpful later for preparing resume tapes. You must dress appropriately on those days when you are scheduled to appear on-camera or conduct interviews.
Business dress is required for studio appearances and interview assignments.
After a three-week orientation in the TV lab, you will be assigned to perform field reporting, producing, and studio roles. When assigned to producing, you will help write, organize, and anchor the newscasts. During the fourth week of the semester, auditions will be held for newscast anchoring, including sports and weather. Live newscasts will begin during the fifth week and will be scheduled weekly for the remainder of the semester. Grades of A-F are possible.
