Course emphasis is on editorial decision-making and how to translate that into a journalistically sound television news program. Excellent writing skills will continue to be emphasized as students learn more complex production techniques. The Friday seminar will focus on preparing you for your teaching television assignment.
Homework is due one week after it is assigned unless indicated otherwise.
Students are required to read national and local newspapers daily. In addition, students are expected to watch and listen to as many local and national newscasts and news magazines as possible. The producing grade will be based on the second show only. All lab assignments will be critiqued. Critiques will emphasize strengths and areas to improve.
