Journalism and Broadcast Production students team up for field trip

Junior Micah Weber, currently a student in Broadcast Production, hams it up for the camera in Medill's television studio.

To save on transportation costs, students walked from the Metra station to the Museum of Broadcast Communications.

The museum is home to one of the original Charlie McCarthy dolls, and the only Effie Klinker still in existence. All puppets were part of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's long-running act.

Journalism Production sophomore Jonathan Saucedo prepares to push the panic button in the Museum of Broadcast Communications' studio.

The field trip offered students from both classes to come together to learn more about broadcasting.

Students look at the control panel Medill installed a few years back; according to Northwestern's staff, some parts of the panel - on their own - cost more than $9000.

Sophomore Emily Armenta and junior Carlos Allen talk to Broadcast Production teacher Dave Jennings about "The Bozo Show" and how to play Bozo Buckets.

Journalism adviser Leslie Fireman talks to sophomore Jonathan Saucedo about the JEA National Convention in Boston.

Senior Andy Garcia takes in the set from Meet the Press.

Even on a cool April morning, the city of Chicago provided a retreat from classes.

Juniors Muaz Ali and Neela Myers work on their Chromebooks in the LRC in April 2023.
