Broadcast Publications
Broadcast publications are sources of information that are created then transmitted to a larger audience, typically by means of radio, television, or the Internet. Examples include the nightly news, television programs, podcasts, and radio shows. Left is a picture of a live taping of the National Public Radio live broadcast of 12 o'clock jump which airs from Kansas City. In this class, students will create a commercial for their broadcast project, and a podcast if time permits.
At the end of the semester, students will be put into groups of 3-5 to create a television show broadcast. This will be a review of all the major units of study from the entire semester. The broadcast must follow the plot diagram outlined in Publications, Communication Arts, and Reading classes. Throughout the broadcast there will be a minimum of two commercials which will review the advertising unit studied in visual publications, and a news break which will review the journalism unit studied in print publications. Broadcasts are also required to include two unique student-made settings that review both the graphic design and photography units. This broadcast will then be made available on-line as part of the electronics publications unit.
