The laboratories and classes in the Broadcast Journalism Program are very much like the news business itself - focused and fast paced. Well before students hit the airwaves, however, they are well schooled in the basics: observing, digging for and gathering news, writing and rewriting, performing, and applying appropriate production techniques.
