ABSTRACTThis paper discusses a class project in which a broadcast

education professor's students at Southern Arkansas University producedcampus news stories for the local NBC affiliate--the affiliate ran thestories once a week on their newscasts. The paper begins with a shortexplanation of course requirements for Advanced Electronic News Gathering andhow news stories are selected and reported. The paper continues with anedited videotape consisting of news stories recently produced and aired,followed by scripts of productions. Some of the scripts reproduced in thepaper contain news stories about homecoming, non-traditional students,residence hall life, the business school, the political affairs club, andagriculture students and cattle ranching. The paper notes that in the coursespecial attention is paid to video editing by phrase or complete sentence;writing in a conversational style; logical sequencing of shots; making soundbites meaningful; ensuring that "stand-ups" further story progression;utilizing natural sound where appropriate; and shooting footage whosecomposition and movement do not call attention to themselves.

In 1990, I reached an agreement with the NBC affiliate near my

institution to broadcast campus news stories on its newscasts once

a week. Students in my Advanced Electronic News Gathering course

are responsible for producing these reports, and I as executive

producer critique them and suggest changes if necessary. These

reports consist of hard and feature news events taking place at the

university.

This intensive hands-on experience runs the gamut of news

gathering and editing procedures students can expect to encounter

in entry-level news reporting positions. They use industrial

Super-VHS equipment in the production process and transfer

completed stories to 3/4 inch videotape for broadcast by the NBC

affiliate.

The program will begin with a short explanation of course

requirements and how news stories are selected and reported. This

will be followed by an edited videotape consisting of news stories

recently produced and aired. Scripts of productions follow this

page. VHS videotapes of these and other student-produced reports

are available upon request.

Of significance to broadcast educators are the methods by

which agreements can be reached with stations to air college news

reports on stations serving communities adjacent to their

institutions. In addition, special attention will be paid to:

video editing by phrase or complete sentence; writing in a

progression; utilizing natural sound where appropriate; and

attention to themselves.
