2009 day 2 "Random Facts"

On the Beat

Lyndsey and Jolissa make news happen

While Bree researches her story about "How Green is YIG?"

Live from the Field Crew

Wow.  second day, nine stories done, and our savvy editors (Annie, Sydney, and Eegee) fiercely working (caffeine free, I might add) on six more before the hour has even tolled six.  

It's been a fast paced day and it all began with our stellar field crew: 

Reporter Bree and videographer Pamela, reporting on the underground Capitol tunnels.  Reporter Erica and videographer Shouana, reporting on Voting, and Reporter Lindsey and videographer Jolissa reporting on the Press Conference....and soooo many more stories rocked out...

This crew is very focused, very professional, and really showing a lot of enthusiasm!  Beth Ziebarth, station manager, is doing a fantabulous job keeping everyone on task. 

It's 2009!

It is 2009 and YIG Model Assembly is about to begin once again.

For the past two months, the YMCA Youth in Government TV Program has been training their television crew at SPNN in preparation for the Model Assembly program in early January, when youth take over the Capitol and form a youth legislature. The 25 person TV crew has been busy learning studio, reporting, and editing skills under the direction of SPNN Youth Programs instructors Joanna, Dawn, Amanda, and Megan. During the Model Assembly, the YIG TV crew will produce a nightly newscast and talk show which will be aired live at the Hilton Hotel, where all YIG participants will be staying. The shows will also air on SPNN’s YTV Channel 16 in February, so stay tuned!
