On March 5th, the advanced Journalism and Mass Media classes went on a field trip to WGN studios as well as the University of Chicago.
Upon entering the WGN studio some of our students where asked to join in on a game show. The students won along with the prize of a Blu-ray Back to the Future box set. A tour was given showing off the control room and other studios such as the old Bozo show. Students were able to ask Robin Baumgarten, co-anchor for the WGN Morning news questions regarding journalism in the broadcast and radio fields.
After having meal at Kitsch’n, the students took a tour of the University of Chicago. Students were also able to learn about the journalism program at the university. It was a great experience for those who are interested in the journalism and multimedia fields.
