KARE 11 Site Visit Day 2

The second group of Digital Journalism students made the trip over to Kare 11 to learn about journalism and television broadcasting. Starting in the control booth, we watched the show director and producer put together and organize the show. Next, we traveled down to the studio to see Kim Insley and Alicia Lewis give the morning show. Finally, we got the opportunity to have a conversation with several Kare 11 reporters on their experiences with reporting and how we can apply their knowledge to our own projects.

KARE 11 site visit

The Digital Journalism course at VANTAGE got the opportunity to explore the Kare 11 studios. The class was able to observe and interact with the morning news crew. This site visit helped give us insight into how a news station works. We met with editors, anchors, directors, and producers. It was really interesting to see how the whole crew worked together to bring viewers their morning news.  

VANTAGE students present to the Minnetonka School Board

With the first semester projects coming to a close, the General Mills VANTAGE group presented to the Minnetonka school board. This group consisted of both the Digital Journalism and Global Business class. This project was a research-based project, focusing on the morning eating trends of teens. With the research that the Global Business group conducted, the Digital Journalism team made an intriguing video on this research and the trends found.
