Students completing the Broadcast Production emphasis are preparing for decision-making and technical responsibilities in electronic communication. Technical, artistic, and management skills combine to ensure that quality electronic content is presented in an effective, appropriate and engaging manner, within budget. Broadcast production students complete the Mass Communication five-course core, the professional seminar, and four of the courses in the Broadcast Journalism emphasis: audio production and performance, introductory visual communication, beginning single camera/nonlinear editing, TV studio production, and two Mass Communication electives. In addition broadcast production students complete a script writing course for fiction and nonfiction and an advanced production course where they create and produce programming for the departmental television station. Every broadcast-journalism student will work at KSHU-TV during his/her college tenure and each will write, produce, shoot and edit his/her own television series for KSHU-TV. Unless students plan to specialize in a content-specific field, a marketing or management minor is strongly recommended for this emphasis.
