Journalism / Broadcasting

Broadcast Journalism is a broadcasting class designed to help students develop a groundwork in different forms of media, including, writing, videography, broadcasting, and public speaking. The course will have two main focuses. The first is to help students learn how to write and report well-balanced, comprehensive, and visually compelling packages by learning how to interview, write, shoot, report, and edit stories. 

Hopefully, we can utilize these skills in a hands-on environment when we return to school. This transitional part of the course will focus on running the SLA TV. Students will learn how to operate different jobs during newscasts, such as running the camera, Tricaster, Teleprompter, and even anchoring.
