Broadcast Class Inquiry
I’m curious if any schools have a broadcast journalism class. As the president of my school’s broadcast club, we air our episode to the entire school during Homeroom once a month. However, we’re currently facing challenges with a lack of members and ensuring our work is completed on time. I would love to hear how other programs are structured and any tips on keeping things organized and engaging. Thanks!
My performance: It wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t awful either. I only had five days to prepare after I learned about the act just before it happened.
Try to guess my GPA based on the character count in this title!
What are your thoughts on teachers giving pop quizzes? Personally, I don’t think they should. They often lead to unnecessary stress and don’t really enhance my understanding of the material.

Hi there! It’s great to hear from someone involved in school broadcasting! At my school, we have a broadcast journalism class that has been really helpful in getting students engaged and producing quality content. Here’s how it’s structured:
Weekly Meetings: We meet once a week as a class, where we brainstorm ideas for upcoming segments, assign roles, and set deadlines. This helps us stay organized and on track.
Divided Roles: We have students in different roles, like anchors, reporters, camera operators, and editors. Having specific responsibilities not only keeps everyone accountable but also allows members to develop their skills in areas they enjoy.
Collaboration with Other Departments: We sometimes collaborate with the drama or photography classes to enhance our segments. This cross-curricular approach not only brings in fresh ideas but also helps build a sense of community.
Workshops and Guest Speakers: Occasionally, we invite local journalists or media professionals to speak to our class and offer workshops. This provides valuable insights into the industry and motivates students.
Social Media Promotion: To attract new members, we’ve started promoting our episodes and behind-the-scenes content on social media. It’s helped us raise awareness about what we do and how fun it is to be involved!
Perhaps incorporating some of these ideas could help your club gain traction and get members excited about contributing. Good luck with your broadcast episode!
