The team behind Hunter News Now<\/a>, a live newscast on issues and events for the Hunter College audience, wrapped the first show of its third season on March 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Sissel McCarthy, whose Studio News Production<\/a> students create the program, said the class did a great job communicating and organizing, which are real-world attributes highly valued in the media industry.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCarthy also pointed out that her students are gaining advantageous experiences through the class, adding \u201cThis is not a lecture class at all, it\u2019s a workshop. They\u2019re doing what they\u2019re going to do when they get out in the professional world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Television is a team sport. <\/strong>
You cannot do it on your own.’ <\/strong>
– Prof. Sissel McCarthy<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a more seamless production, the class teams up with Peter Jackson, chief digital media CLT and production coordinator, and his highly-skilled student interns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explained Jackson: \u201cThe interesting sort of twist is that it\u2019s Professor McCarthy\u2019s class, but it\u2019s my interns that run the studio. The collaboration between the two is key.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also a team effort to prepare for the show. The class met up a week prior to the shoot and discussed story ideas to determine which would be included in their 20-minute telecast.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the small window between conceiving and then producing the show, Co-producer Alexandra Ali said, \u201cYou just have to be persistent. \u2026 A lot of things are out of our hands.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point was finding on-air sources for the March 6 show. \u201cIt took us a while to find our guest,\u201d she added. \u201cWe tried to get in contact with a lot of people.\u201d

Student Co-producer Annie Murphy agreed it was crucial to be proactive, given that students only had a week to plan for the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was more of having a trillion questions and answering a trillion questions,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of thinking on your feet and having back-ups. You just have to prepare for everything.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show featured a variety of elements, \u00a0including hard news, a guest-speaker, arts and sports, and lighter stories within Hunter College. To watch the March 6 show, check back soon on the Hunter College Journalism YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
