Mission:
To give students an opportunity to learn and utilize skills associated with televising a live news show.
Planned Activities:
The Broadcast Club will plan and implement all activities required to televise our live Hawkeye News Show each week: finding stories of interest, filming or photographing various school activities, writing a script, editing videos and photographs, selecting music, working with teams of students who will be the live talent each week, and operating the various equipment required to make the live show possible.
In addition to our weekly showcase, our team is in the studio every morning to bring you live daily announcements, ensuring the student body stays informed and connected in real-time. Members gain hands-on experience with professional equipment, digital storytelling, and live broadcast performance
