Broadcasting
WSU's broadcasting sequence, which offers emphases in production, news, and management, has won an outstanding reputation for its professional approach. Students who elect the production track receive studio and field training in audio and video production and have opportunities to work with equipment in the College, WSU's Cable 8, and Radio-TV services.
Broadcast news track students are exposed to both radio and television news reporting. Through the radio news class, they are responsible for daily newscasts on KUGR, and may gain additional experience on Northwest Public Radio. In television news they generate nightly cablecasts seen in Pullman, which they anchor, shoot, edit, and produce.
The quality of the broadcasting sequence has earned students wide recognition from broadcast professionals. Students recently won awards in television spot news, non-deadline news, and television documentary categories in a regional competition sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists.
