WBA NewsroomA television station in Milwaukee is helping college students get a hands-on preview of what it’s like to have a career in TV journalism.
Janet Hundley, RTDNA Region 4 Director, writes that WTMJ-TV works with UW-Milwaukee to offer a class titled “The Making of Television News” that meets in a WTMJ conference room for two hours each week to learn directly from reporters, photographers, and others in the newsroom about how they do their jobs.
“We are able to have them watch live newscasts, observe every technical aspect from the control room and beyond, and put what they learn into practice,” said instructor Jessie Garcia Marble.
