Troy State offered its first broadcast jour- nalism course in the Fall of 1975. The course was entitled Intro- duction to Radio and Televi- sion. Since then, the School of Journalism has expanded to twelve broadcast journal- ism courses. The broadcast- ing courses are designed to acquaint the student with such topics from the theory and history of broadcasting to actual reporting and pro- duction techniques to a 15- hour internship at a broad- 16 Experience Counts casting facililty. Hence, the student is exposed to every aspect of broadcast journal- ism from researching stories to appearing before the cam- era. Broadcast journalism ma- jors are encouraged to par- ticipate in TSU-TV produc- tions. Under the supervision of the staff of TSU-TV and faculty of the School of Jour- nalism, the students gain practical hands on exper- ience in news gathering, writing, reporting and pro- duction. Nooncast and TSU Nightly News are produced each weekday in the TSU-TV studios.

Broadcast journalism ma- jors interested in radio are encouraged to participate in TSU-Radio. Students gain ex- perience in news, tape edit- ing, reporting, broadcasting techniques and radio oper- ations.
