CO 107 BROADCAST JOURNALISM



Broadcast Journalism introduces students to the basic skills in writing and producing TV news, including beat reporting, interviewing and editing with the needs and demands of the electronic media in mind. Students work independently and collaboratively on newscasts. Students critically evaluate newscasts and are introduced to the components of producing them. They also examine ethical challenges that arise when manipulation of images and sound can distort reality and compromise journalistic integrity. Students will be expected to narrate their own scripts, handle microphones, video cameras and other equipment, and edit their segments on computer to produce professional quality reports. They may be expected to cover news stories on and off campus and go on field trips to observe professional news operations. 3 Credits
