Marshall Maddy, Director of the Langford Communication Center at Newberry College visited the WCS News Crew during the Morning News Show on February 9, 2011 in the media center production studio. Afterwards, he met with the crew to discuss production procedures and technology issues. Mr. Maddy’s visit is a follow-up to the news crew’s Newberry College field trip in January.
Ms. Donna Hagen, WCS Media Specialist and WCS News Crew Sponsor, had contacted Newberry College as a possible field trip destination for the crew. She and Mr. Maddy decided to form a partnership between the Department of Theatre, Visual Arts, and Communications and the WCS News Crew. Mr. Maddy, Dr. Jodie Peeler, and Mr. Al de Lachica introduced the crew to the Newberry College studio, helped them produce a television newscast, and let them participate in a live radio broadcast. Mr. Maddy graciously offered to visit Whitmire to see them in action and to give them professional advice.
During his visit to WCS, Mr. Maddy talked with the crew about their ideas and how they can implement changes in the show. He gave advice on camera equipment, lighting, and training. Mr. Maddy will continue to provide assistance to the crew as they add new equipment and as they expand the show. Whitmire Community School is fortunate to have Newberry College as a partner, providing WCS students with professional mentors and potential career paths.
