As the semester moves through its third week, the Reynolds School's classrooms, atrium, hallways and meeting rooms are full of activity, and students. McCarthy, who holds a master's degree from the Reynolds School, teaches the introductory course and broadcast courses. She's senior producer at KNPB-TV, northern Nevada's public television station.
Student clubs are active as well.
Last week, the University of Nevada Broadcasters' Club shared pizza with KRNV-TV's Executive Producer, Jon Killoran. The club meets twice a week, on the second and fourth Tuesdays, at noon in the Reading Room. All students interested in broadcasting are invited to attend and join. Killoran, who moved from sports director to executive producer to acting news director, then back to executive producer, chatted with the students about his career and gave them tips on getting started in their own careers. Other student clubs are active as well.
