JACKSON, Miss. — Out with the old and in with the new is how the Department of Mass Communications brought in the spring 2011 semester at Jackson State University.
What started out as JSU22 in 2007 will now kick off its new season as JSUTV22, a student-run, closed-circuit channel that serves the campus.
More than $150,000 was spent on the instructional studio and control room renovations at the Mississippi e-Center @ JSU.
Dr. Sunny Fridge, director of programs and clinical assistant professor, said students and the department will greatly benefit from the instructional studio.
“Now students are able to create their own programming; they are able to practice and apply the theories they learn in the classroom to the real world,” Fridge said. “It’s no longer just an assignment for students … they get to actually see their work.”
JSUTV22 will provide the students with experience in news, production, sports, sales, promotions and management. Media Programming is a new class that will create programming specifically for the channel. JSUTV22 will have a ribbon cutting and official opening in February. Stay tuned!
