Journalism students at Diamond Fork Junior High recently visited the studios of KSL TV, and the radio stations FM 100 and Arrow 103.5. Students were able to talk with reporters and ask them questions about a career in journalism. Students were even invited into the broadcasting booth of FM100, and were present as the DJ broadcast live on the air. After investigating the working environments of professional journalists, students were also able to watch live filming of the KSL News At Noon program.
Students were amazed at the level of effort that goes into each news broadcast. They also had many fresh and creative ideas to improve their own school news broadcasts. After the tours, many students expressed a desire to work in the journalism and broadcast fields. Good luck to these future journalists.
