Journalism Response: News/TV Terminology Response

I really enjoyed learning all of the terminology that is used for news broadcasts and I think that it will be very helpful for me to know in the future. I previously knew the meaning of a couple of the words like break and voice-over, but I had no idea what the majority of the words meant.

I’ve been thinking that when I grow up I may possibly want to have a career in broadcast journalism or something along those lines. So, when we were learning about the broadcast terminology and about how newscasts work, I found it all very entertaining and fun to learn about.

            I think that this lecture helped me not only learn what the meaning of these words are, but it also helped me more understand how a newscast runs. We did not just flip through words and definitions to write down, but we had an actual discussion about using these words in context and explaining a lot of the specific newscast steps. I found this overall lecture super interesting and I for sure think that the content we learned in this lecture will be helpful to me in the future.
