Broadcast News

In broadcast journalism, skills in reporting, writing, producing, photojournalism and digital editing for radio and television are honed in the classroom and in the field.


Our graduates are the faces on TV. They are the voices on the radio, the producers and reporters. They are the people bringing you television and radio news.

Broadcast news students learn to combine words, pictures, voices and sound to tell stories. Their reports may last a few minutes or an hour. Using digital technology, they combine high-tech equipment with down-to-earth storytelling.

First, you learn to report the news: interviewing, writing and ethical decision making. Then you’re on the scene with cameras and digital audio equipment. In the editing room, you’re on deadline to select the best words, pictures and sound for your story. Then you tell it, in a voice trained to deliver the news with clarity and precision.

We’ll prepare you for the real show, delivering news and programming at local stations up to major networks. Our students win national awards. Their work airs on commercial and public stations across the state. We want you to succeed in the broadcast news business.
