Education:
KULR-8 is participating in Northwestern’s Teaching Television 12 week program. The Northwestern Teaching Media Program provides full-time, 12-week internships to juniors or seniors at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism. Each journalism student is required to complete this program to earn their degree. The program matches students with participating TV stations and teams them with a mentor who works with them one-on-one throughout the internship. The program is geared to being a very hands-on learning experience. At KULR-8 the internship is very much centered on the reporting aspect of broadcast news. Students begin shadowing staff reporters to learn the systems, and by the end of the internship are often writing, reporting and presenting their own stories on air. The student's advisor from Medill makes a mid-term visit, and the mentor completes a mid-term and final evaluation. Those who participated are:
Blaire Martin (News Director) attended the 2005 MBA Convention.
Community Involvement:
John Langeliers, GSM, hosted the all state High School Debate in January.
Matt Elwell gave presentation to Cub Scout troop #11 on winter survival followed with a tour of the facility.
Scott Beadle, Keagan Harsha, Cari Cast and other volunteers from the news department participated this in the “I Love To Read Program”.
Greg LaMotte attended the Billings Clinic Science Fair in March and Matt Elwell was a judge for the fair.
