This advanced course will take students from the practice field to the pressures of the real game. Students will challenge themselves in a number of on-air positions as part of NAIT NewsWatch, our half-hour news program that airs to a viewing audience. They will work towards performing news and non-news, both in-studio and in the field, to an entry-level professional standard and be expected to prepare and present themselves in a professional manner during a public performance. On-set interaction, dynamic and diverse delivery, dealing with technical direction and prompter technique are some of the skills they will acquire. As part of this real-life on-air environment, critique sessions will follow production to provide feedback and direction to on-air student performers as they advance through the course.
