Broadcast Journalism
Exploring broadcast journalism has allowed me to tell the stories of my community by bringing my sources' faces to my audience and bring readers into the stories in a more compelling way. In my internship, I learn about radio broadcasting and help with the station's content management and audio editing.
Issue 1 Instagram Promo
January 2021
I was featured in and filmed a few parts of this promo video for our newest magazine issue. I also helped the main videographer plan the shots and get interviews with staff members about their stories to include. By posting this on our Instagram account, we got the word out about how students could pick up a copy and promote excitement about the stories inside.

Creating Community
October 2019
This video was edited and filmed by former Broadcast Editor Colin Frick, and I conducted the interviews with the sources and provided feedback about the video, ensuring it was an accurate retelling of my magazine story. I conducted man-on-the-street interviews with students as well as planned interviews with experts, and throughout the process, Colin showed me the steps of video production.
Broadcast video in Journalism I
Spring 2019
In the Journalism I class, we studied broadcast journalism and created practice videos based on past ODYSSEY articles to gain experience in scripting, anchoring and editing videos. My partner, Ireland McCage, and I researched more about the topic of sneaker culture and filmed b-roll of shoes and paraphrased the article to bring it off the page. This gave me an idea of how difficult it is to shoot a good video, so we did our best with the resources we had.

Learning about broadcast
Spring 2019
In the Journalism I class, we spent a unit learning about all aspects of broadcast. We talked about the step-by-step process for getting interviews, shooting b-roll and editing clips together. I learned how to get the best audio and video quality and techniques for reporting through broadcast on my phone.
