to learn how stories make it from an editorial meeting to an on-air broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emmy-award winning journalist Carol Anne Riddell, who is the host of the CUNY TV shows, <em>Arts in the City<\/em> and <em>Book It<\/em>, explained to students how she comes up with stories ideas, finds sources, conducts interviews and then turns the story into a video news piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of people think writing is not important in broadcast news, but it\u2019s all about the writing,\u201d said Riddell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students took turns trying out different jobs on and off camera with some in the control room directing the newscast or running the teleprompter while others operated cameras or anchored the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Ging, a computer science major, said the visit gave him a new perspective on TV news. \u201cHow TV news is made is kind of a black box for most people, and this was an enlightening experience,\u201d said Ging, who also directed the show from the control room. \u201cDirecting was a lot harder than I thought because you have to process everything that\u2019s going on at once.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in Professor Sissel McCarthy\u2019s Media 211 News Literacy in a Digital Age class went behind the scenes at CUNY TV to learn
