Behind the Scenes at The University of Mississippi's Newswatch

Do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at a television news station? You would be surprised to know that everything is planned well beforehand, and everyone has a duty to perform to ensure a successful broadcast. The student's of Newswatch at Ole Miss took time to speak with me to discuss the daily routine the news crew takes leading up to the live broadcast. Nick Will, the technical producer, handles the sound and video to confirm it is on cue. Kyle Dutton, the floor director and camera man, is responsible for overseeing everyone's duty in the news room and setting up the camera angles. Andrew Mattrick, the meteorologist, has to constantly watch the weather throughout the live broadcast to verify the weather is up-to-date since weather is unpredictable. To catch a glimpse of how these Ole Miss students prepare the daily news, play the video below.
