“A lot of time and effort went into the shows this semester. Not many students get the opportunity to produce work that is broadcast on local TV, so we are very fortunate to work with Sherrie White and Bernadette Baraquio. They are heavily involved in the world of broadcast journalism and multimedia and there is so much to learn from their knowledge and experience,” said Erin Fujitani, student producer and senior journalism major.
Georgia Clair Johnson-King, student producer and senior journalism major, added, “Erin and I were both fortunate enough to be selected as anchors, which was an honour and a thrilling challenge! I was extremely happy with the selection of Charleston Cazimero, Krista Rados and Erin as my fellow anchors and think every student involved did an excellent job.”
