KUJH-TV and KUJH Online
I directed a staff of 12 online producers, 77 multimedia reporters and 48 multimedia editors in the KUJH Multimedia Newsroom, producing Web-ready audio/visual and text content for the daily news cycle. For more information on what exactly it is I did there (I sometimes wonder what I didn't do), see my résumé.
KUJH-TV Mission Statement
“KUJH-TV is the laboratory TV station of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas. The station serves the academic mission of the school by providing students with hands-on, professionally supervised work experiences. It also serves the KU/Lawrence/Douglas County audience with programming consistent with high industry standards. The website serves as a tool to promote the station, educate the students and serve as a news source for our audience.
KUJH-TV is operated by the students and faculty of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. The station broadcasts on channel 14 in Lawrence and channel 31 on Sunflower Cablevision in Lawrence, Tonganoxie and Eudora.
The student-produced news airs at 5:30, 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 p.m. Monday through Friday while KU classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters.”
KUJH Online Mission Statement
“The mission of KUJH Online is to promote and add value to the content developed in the laboratory environment of KUJH-TV and to reach world audiences beyond its broadcast and cable signal, while providing a depth and focus that TV alone cannot achieve. By eliminating barriers to feedback, KUJH Online allows reporters, producers, directors and faculty to relate to the public through direct communication with audiences.
Through this direct link - and interactive web elements such as quizzes, online polls and in-depth text stories - KUJH Online adds value to the KUJH-TV content for its audience while educating students striving to learn the online journalism craft.”
