Video Production students had a unique opportunity to visit the television broadcast studios of KBAK/KBFX. The facility supports local CBS and Fox news programming as well as promotions and production departments.
"The best part of my trip to KBAK/KBFX was when I spoke to the editor and multimedia journalists because I was most interested in learning about their jobs." - Priscilla Bonilla, Video Production
Several employees, including producers, directors, photographers, and journalists took time out of their busy schedules to meet with the students and explain what their careers entail and the training and education necessary to work in broadcast media and video production related fields.
"I got to see what it takes and how much it takes to put a news broadcast on the air." - Jami Acosta, Video Production
After touring the set and watching a portion of a live newscast, students were treated to photo opportunities on the set and fun with the green screen and weather graphics. They also met with staff who shoot and edit local public service announcements and commercials to explore that area of expertise.
The trip to KBAK?KBFX was very popular among students who had never been in a television studio before.
