[edit] About Carolina Week
Carolina Week is a student television newscast produced by students of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Students are responsible for all of the pieces aired as well as the production of the show. Supervised by a management team of professors and graduate students with prior professional broadcast experience, students shoot, write and edit their own stories. The program allows students to gain a strong hands-on experience in the broadcast journalism field. Carolina Week has won numerous state, regional, and national awards.
Reporters cover University, community and state news for two TV newscasts. Each half hour TV newscast included news, weather and sports segments. Students commit approximately 500 work hours to the shows each week. These hours go into covering stories, editing, running studio and control room equipment and many other tasks.
Carolina Week's first show aired February 2000 in the newly renovated Carroll Hall on UNC-Chapel Hill's campus. On October 1, 2003, the show went live. On December 3, 2003, Carolina Week carried out its first live remote.
