For the second five weeks of the Summer 2004 semester, Cuyahoga Community 
College's Western Campus is offering a Broadcast Journalism Class, instructed by 
Ohio's Sportscaster of the Year, Casey Coleman.

The class meets June 28 - July 28, 2004 on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 
7:00 - 9:40 p.m. If you're interested please contact Journalism and Mass 
Communication Coordinator Jerome McKeever, Ph. D, as soon as possible, but no 
later than Monday, June 28, 2004. The best way to reach him is by email at:
jerome.mckeever at tri-c.edu. The class is: JMC 2220: Broadcast Journalism.

Below is Casey Coleman's Course Description:

Heavy on writing. Writing a column. Feature type story on a live event. 
Writing on deadline. 1:30 and then editing the piece to 1:00 three minutes later.

Writing a recap at a live event, and students get to see what it's like to 
sit in a press box during a game. The students get all of the pre-game info the 
media gets. Regarding this summer's course, I talked with the Tribe yesterday 
and it looks like we will be able to take the class to a game and have the 
students cover it and see what the media receives before every game and have them 
talk to PR folks, etc, and maybe a day at Browns camp too. Going to an event 
and having students do a story makes it all so real and they get a sense of 
deadlines and content limitations.

I take the class to WTAM studios to learn how to record and edit on 
computers, which is the standard in the biz these days, no more tapes, recorders, etc.

I have up to six guest lecturers, people in the industry, TV, radio, and hard 
print to talk about 45 minutes or so regarding life in the medium.

We talk about ethics, interviewing, researching and all the basics that go 
into the writing, audio, and video.

And of course, we spend four classes in the TV studio and everyone gets to do 
several on-set takes and keep the tapes. Also, students learn to direct, 
switch, run camera, and the TelePrompter.

By the end of the course, each student will have two audio CDs, several 
writing pieces to include in a portfolio, and of course, a video tape.

I distribute hand-outs that I have gleaned from various publications over the 
years on ethics, interviewing, researching stories, etc.

That's it in a nutshell. I would say that you take this course and you're 
well on the way to opportunities for a job in the biz.
