Studio Newscast

You should have completed editing your field news package. Next you learn how to incorporate your news package into a newscast show. 

First, you must learn vocab and concepts. You and ONE partner get a textbook. 

Classwork ASSIGNMENT 1: complete Chapter 16 and 22 Packet

Your team will be joined with additional team(s) to be trained on Studio & Control room equipment jobs. There are 3 Show groups for the whole class. Each group should have 10-12 people. 

Kuhn will train 1 group per day.  Each group will have 2 Anchors, 3 Camera operators, a Teleprompter, Title manager, Tech Director, Playback Operator, Audio Director, and Show Producer. 

Classwork ASSIGNMENT 2: Plan your Show Script. Download a Live Newscast Format Script to see the rundown. Anchors - type your script using the Windows software "Notepad" and copy it to a flash drive. Give it to your Teleprompter operator before your Practice time.  

LAB GRADE: Your show will broadcast to a LIVE audience. Everyone will be able to see mistakes. So, be professional and LISTEN during that 1 day of training. Shows will also be recorded. 

Practice Time: The block is divided in half during Show Week April 16-20. Your team will have additional chances to practice if you SIGN UP in advance. 


ATTN Seniors who have Senior Project: I recommend you work in the same group. Your show will be completed the WED BEFORE Senior Project so you can spend Thursday focused on your presentation. You are all encouraged to practice with each other in our classroom on Thursday. 

ALL SHOWS DUE BY FRIDAY APRIL 20th
