Mason Cable Network and SPJ Collaboration

GMU's SPJ chapter and Mason Cable Network paired up for a master class on November 1, 2016.

The chapter learned some valuable lessons from how to actually set up and operate a camera/microphone for broadcasting purposes as well as how to edit during post production. The members of SPJ were able to participate in a master class where they were able to use the skills they just learned and use them to broadcast mock stories that were recorded in front of a camera. 

The chapter had a lot of fun working with the students of Mason Cable Network and they also had a lot of fun making up news stories to "broadcast."
