Television news can show us the depth and profundity of a news story like no other medium through the power of visuals. Learn how the professionals evaluate newsworthiness and stack a news program, which includes interviewing, shooting, editing and scripting (writing to video). We will discuss current, local and national topics that will be deemed news worthy. Each session will cover an advancing task in the day of a journalist.
