Live, But At What Cost? An Analysis Of Live News Reporting In The Indianapolis Television News Market, Robert Kyle Inskeep

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

During the summer of 20 10 I had the opportunity to work as a news intern at WTHR- TV. This experience not only provided me with extremely valuable professional experience, but it also introduced me to one of the most common elements of local television news: the live shot. During my internship I would accompany reporters into the field and assist them in the news gathering process, a process that was often cut short to ensure that the reporter and videographer had an adequate amount of time to return to the news station to put together their story and then …

I advocate for neocolonial criticism to trace how NatGeo remains haunted …
