Pre-schoolers tour The Crossroads, and third full show

[Update] 10-25-2010

I've removed my story on the pre-schoolers from YouTube and from the full show that was posted. I received an e-mail today from John Thompson the professor in charge of i-Comm Student Media (and therefore I-News) saying that he had received a complaint from a parent concerning their child being shown in the story, and asking for its removal. He removed the full show, my video, and the I-News update show that featured the story. I have removed the video from YouTube in order to respect that parents wishes. I have placed another story into the full show in my stories place.

We were under the impression that we were allowed to film the children when we shot the story. The preschool teachers said it was fine for most of the kids and pointed out some kids to us that they knew their parents wouldn't want their children shown. Since the teachers are students they were apparently unaware that we were not supposed to do this.

I was quite happy with what I put together when I produced the story and I don't really understand why the parents would want it removed (I don't have kids, but if I did, I think that I would not mind them appearing in a news story like the one I made) but I am going to comply with their wishes.

Above is my latest package for I-News. It's about the "R" Children pre-school run on the BYU -- Idaho campus and a field trip they recently took to the crossroads. There's lots of footage of cute kids making and eating pizza.

Also my third full show is now up on byuicomm.net. This is the strongest show I've produced yet. My reporters are getting better as we go along and that's good to see. There were overall fewer hiccups in getting this show ready for to go up, and I think the end result is pretty good.

Second Full Show

The Second Full Show I produced this semester is now up on the BYU i-Comm website. I think that its a much smoother show than the last. There are still some little details that are not quite what I would hope, but over all I think this a stronger package than the last.

I had to put a shortened version of my profile on Keisha from the last post in because one of my reporters was not able to deliver a package after she forgot her camera in Salt Lake. We're still working on getting a style guide for the show solidified as well. But I think things are much improved and I'm pretty happy with the end result.

Keisha Profile

This is a profile I did a couple of semesters ago. I never got it online so I figured I ought to. So here it is.
