Students in the broadcast news sequence prepare for the new digital world of electronic journalism with hands-on courses, working on public broadcast and cable news and sports programs, and through internships.
Students can begin volunteering for WOUB News in their freshman year, working in a new, state-of-the-art newsroom. Athens MidDay is a live television news program and website that all students in the sequence produce in their junior and senior years. Gridiron Glory is an Emmy-award winning high school football show produced live by students.
Students intern at Washington, New York and London bureaus for all the broadcast and cable news networks, as well as The Today Show, Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, ABC's Nightline, 20/20, and many others. Students with specialized reporting interests also intern at ESPN, MTV News, and E! entertainment network. Other opportunities to get involved include student chapters of national professional organizations such as the Radio Television News Directors Association and the Society of Professional Journalists.
