Campus News
Campus News is a collaborative learning project at Minnesota State University Moorhead where faculty and industry professionals mentor students to produce weekly television program that airs on Prairie Public Television. The Prairie Public network reaches thousands of homes throughout the region. The half-hour newscast focuses on local and regional colleges, and also includes stories about campuses from around the world. It's written, reported, photographed, anchored and produced by students.
Campus News has served as a launching pad for many television reporters, photographers, anchors and producers. In fact, several local reporters and anchors teach some of the accompanying Campus News classes. Campus News and the students who work on the program have won hundreds of awards over the years from professional organizations such as the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Upper Midwest Chapter, the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and the North Dakota Professional Communicators (NDPC), and the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association (MBJA). Campus New has also earned national recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Broadcast Education Association.
