Chart tries something new, weekly TV newscast

If you are looking for substance, try another video, but the Chart, Missouri Southern State University's newspaper, is trying something new- a weekly newscast. It appears that Bruce Speck has the kind of journalism program he has been wanting since he arrived at MSSU.

    This doesn't apply to the Chart, but I noticed today that the Globe didn't run its usual "Progress Edition" that it normally does the last Sunday in February. Instead, the Globe reprinted about 20 of its front pages from 2011.

    This broadcast is informative, upbeat and positive. Its easy to see why you don't like it Randy.

    Anonymous 7:04 AM: It's mildly informative with high school production values. The female anchor has potential. But it's mostly positive fluff. As for real news, it's vacuous.

    I am so sorry that Richard Massa has to see how the Chart is slowly being killed by a university president and a board of governors that have no clue about what a university newspaper should be.

    If you only knew the amount of work a show like this required. You could have used this forum to inspire students but you chose to critique. You didn't even bother to contact the school to get actual details about the program. You inserted your dislike for that administration and assumed it was some sort of propaganda campaign. It was not. In fact it was an attempt to further Massa's plan of Media convergence and it was student led and got much support from the faculty and staff. The students who worked on this got real world experience, opportunities to network, and ,for those who weren't comm majors, a chance to work in a different area of study. Even after the creator graduated other students picked up the ball and ran with it.
