Broadcasting Graduation Bulletin 2013
Dear Broadcaster and Media Specialist: The Electronic Media department’s latest edition of the Vincennes University Graduate Bulletin features our recent graduates from the VU E-Media-Broadcasting Program. The 2013 edition includes both the E-Media and Multimedia Communications graduates. This edition has all the students completing their Associate in Science degree in May, August, or December 2013. This Graduate Bulletin, along with many of the previous editions can be accessed on-line by visiting the VU Electronic MediaBroadcasting website at www.vinu.edu/electronicmedia. The VU E-Media program is a hands-on program beginning with the first week as a student. The Electronic Media graduates have extensive training in labs and by working on the university owned and operated radio and television stations. The skills learned include, but not limited to, audio and video production, writing, sales, web content, and social networks. Our Multimedia Communications graduates have experience in graphic design, web development, audio-video production, and writing for media. This academic year was another year of growth for the E-Media department. With the guidance of our Advisory Committee, content was updated in each course in their major to better prepare our graduates for employment. A TVUPack Mini was added to our high end broadcast quality equipment providing our students with the opportunity to do live news reports on location for the web and during the live nightly newscast on WVUT. As an Avid Learning Partner, our students have the opportunity to earn their Avid Media Composer user certification. Our graduates can also earn their RAB Radio Marketing Professional Certification. The Blazer, WVUB-FM radio operates with three HD channels. WVUB was recognized this year by the Indiana Broadcasters Association with three Spectrum Awards, Station of the Year, Community Service Award, and Best Promotional Announcement. WVUB was also nominated for the top honor of Service to Indiana Award. WVUT-DT operates two television channels, one in HD and one in SD. A third SD channel is scheduled to air by the fall of 2013. Our graduates are working in nearly all of the Indiana markets and various markets throughout the country including some of the national networks. There are VU E-Media graduates teaching in high schools preparing future media specialists. Please take a look at this year’s graduates and consider them for employment at your company. They are well trained and understand the commitment necessary for a successful career. I invite you to visit our website and we would like the opportunity to give you a tour of our facilities and to meet our dedicated staff and faculty. Sincerely, Jay D.

Through the combination of staff and students, WVUT-TV 22 produces more hours of local production than most public television stations. This could not be accomplished without staff and students working together to complete daily tasks and goals. Students are crew members for a nightly newscast, sports remotes, public affairs programs, and other productions throughout the year. Students have access to high definition studio and field equipment, including twenty-four AVID Media Composer editing suites. 21 WVUT-HD WVUT-HD is Vincennes University’s PBS affiliate serving Southwestern Indiana and Southeastern Illinois through the combined efforts of staff and students. Students are involved daily in all operations of the station. A daily 30 minute newscast is produced by students and staff. This newscast is broadcast live at 5:00 pm and re-broadcast at 11:30 pm. This newscast has been presented with a Spectrum Award for Best TV Newscast in the non-commercial TV category by the Indiana Broadcasters Association. Students anchor the news, sports, and weather; shoot and edit stories; switch and direct; and operate all equipment necessary for the production. WVUT-HD is the first public digital television station to go on-air in Indiana, broadcasting a high definition and standard definition schedule daily on 22.1 and 22.2. Studio and remote productions are in broadcast high definition. WVUT also produces “22 Magazine,” a public affairs magazine program. Students work in production crew positions as studio camera operators, Chyron graphics operators, TelePrompTer operators, audio operators, video recorder operators, and photographers shooting high definition video. WVUT operates an HD channel for PBS programming, and a separate SD channel with programming for PBS Create and the Indiana Channel. 22 AUDIO/RADIO PRODUCTION In addition to three radio stations, there are eight audio production studios that contain a variety of professional audio production equipment. In the VU tradition of “hands-on” training, students learn to operate every piece of audio equipment in every studio. Students are required to use these studios for various projects. From our digital audio consoles to our “Adobe Audition” audio editing software, students learn and practice on the latest audio equipment. The Electronic Media/Broadcasting Department faculty and staff work directly with students in both formal and scheduled lab situations. 23 WVUB-BLAZER 91.1 HD 91.1, WVUB-HD is a Hot Adult Contemporary 50,000 watt Public Radio Station. WVUB is affiliated with the National Public Radio and American Public Radio networks. These affiliations provide our listeners with the most up to date information and enable WVUB to provide quality programming to a wide base of listeners. WVUB broadcasts in HD, allowing two more signals on the same frequency. WVUB-HD-2 is Blazer Cool Jazz with NPR news, and WVUBHD-3 is Blazer Bilingue, the only Indiana radio station south of Indianapolis broadcasting in the Spanish language. WVUB won three IBA Spectrum Awards in 2012. WVUB was recognized as Radio Station of the Year, Community Service Award, and Best Promotional Announcement. Students assist professional staff on WVUB. They are supervised and trained by broadcasting faculty and staff who have strong backgrounds in the commercial industry. On-air performance, improving communication skills, and keeping the audience entertained and informed are just some of the goals students work toward when on-air with WVUB. 24 INTERNET RADIO K-NOW streams live from the Vincennes University Website at www.vinu.edu. K-NOW is operated and programmed by a mix of first and second year students as they learn how to operate a radio station from the ground up, including learning to work with a digital automation system. The experience mirrors a real world progression of skills and training as closely as is possible in an academic setting. All of the station operations are conducted under the direction and supervision of faculty. 25 INTERNSHIPS Danny Taborn (pictured above) completed an internship with the CBS Network in New York city during the summer of 2012. With his Avid Editing experience in the VU E-Media program he was editing promos for CBS This Morning, CBS Evening News, CBS Sunday Morning, and the 48 Hour Mystery program. He also attended workshop sessions with Scott Pelly and Gale King. These sessions included the topic of an effective Enterprise Journalist and script writing. Each year students in the E-Media and Multimedia programs complete internships throughout the state of Indiana and the Midwest. This includes radio and television stations in addition to cable companies. Today’s multimedia students are working with companies to improve and maintain their websites and to increase their use of social media. 26 REMOTES A variety of radio and television remotes are produced with students each year, ranging from men’s and women’s college basketball, political debates, election returns and “Meet Your Legislator”, to the Miss Vincennes University Scholarship Program (winner of the Indiana Public Broadcasting “Best Performance Award”), and the VU Commencement ceremony. These major remotes utilize a 4-5 camera High Definition remote production fly-away package, which WVUT utilizes for major remotes. Studios are also located in the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center and the Vincennes University P.E. Complex. 27 MULTIMEDIA The Multimedia Communications program at Vincennes University is designed to prepare students for successful entry into the career field of their choice. Multimedia is the creative union of graphic design, animation, audio, video, and text, used to produce an informative, eye-catching, audio-visual computer based presentation. Students will combine artistic ability with technical proficiency to design and create multimedia products for websites and non broadcast productions. Students will work on skills that can be adapted to fit a variety of situations. With the continuing changes in technology and the business world, people with the flexibility of multiple skill areas are more likely to make progress in their careers. Students will take a series of skill building courses needed to effectively operate in a computer media environment. They complete a set of core courses that includes audio-video production, photography, web page development, graphic design, computer aided publishing, multimedia production, and broadcast writing. Students will choose one area of emphasis to compliment the core skill courses and provide expertise in a specific career area. At Vincennes University, we firmly believe in the value of hands-on, real world experience for students. The Multimedia Communications program is a time intensive course of study. An internship or capstone project is required for all Multimedia Communication majors.
