This course introduces you to the dynamic world of television news. From determining what makes a good news to how you write and produce a story, we will examine all aspects of how news stories are developed and formatted into a television broadcast. This is a hands-on class where you will actually write real stories using provided video and will be able to compare what you developed to what actually aired. We will also examine ethical and legal considerations applied to television news in addition to the business side of the field. The course cumulates with your own development of an “as-live” video news story and prepares future journalists for an exciting career in broadcast news.
