Broadcast Journalism Introduction
Producing a Live News Program
Producing a Studio News and Entertainment Show in involves a lot of planning and collaboration between editorial (story producers) and those creating the content in their various roles.
As a class watch the following video of a class In Alberta who has been creating their own shows. We have been doing this at Castlebrooke but his video gives you a look at the behind of going live with a show.
What you will be watching is a very realistic perspective of the energy and excitement when the class pulls together to take all that pre-produced content and showcase it to their audience in the form of a "show. Of note, the content for the show is already created before broadcast day."
