Current MediaWatch and learn about GSM's continuing efforts to bridge academic study and industrial development in multimedia. NewsGSM students in radio and television each gained experience from working the festivities of Salt Lake Community College's Commencement Ceremony for the 2008-09 school year. The simulcast, via Globe Radio & SLCCTV (formerly Valley Television17), allowed students to cover the production of a live event from the Taylorsville Redwood Campus. Globe Radio students created a subsequent podcast of their commencement coverage available on their website. Globe Student Media students and personnel recently took advantage of a great opportunity to put their skills to the test by participating in a shoot of the Salt Lake City International Airport's disaster training exercise. GSM was asked to document the production so that it could later be distributed to the different agencies that were involved. Interested students were given the chance to develop and refine their skills in the field, learning new techniques and getting a unique hands-on experience in an intense environment. In light of US Airways Flight 1549's emergency landing into the Hudson River, ABC4 produced a follow-up story regarding emergency preparedness at Salt Lake International Airport, using the footage of the airport disaster training exercise which was shot exclusively by GSM crews. Watch the collaboration which showed the increasing presence of Globe Student Media's capabilities in the industry. ----------EntertainmentAni Arakelian from The Globe newspaper had the opportunity to join a conference call with D.J. Caruso, director of the action-packed Eagle Eye, starring Shia LaBeouf. Prior to making Eagle Eye, Caruso has also directed the films Disturbia and Two for the Money. Globe Student Media partner Allied Advertising provided pre-release passes for the chance to see Eagle Eye in advance. Arakelian, along with other students from across the country, were able to ask questions to Caruso about various elements of his new film.

Multiple home games for the Bruins' basketball teams of Salt Lake Community College were produced by GSM students and staff. The telecasts along with commentary were performed by GSM student crews. GSM students also traveled to rival schools in the SWAC to gain additional experience, covering the games on live remotes for radio. In addition to regular season and conference tournament coverage, Globe Radio captured the journey of the SLCC Bruins men's basketball team of Salt Lake Community College as they took home their first NJCAA title in the program's history. Along with a live stream of all four national tournament games, each of the four game broadcasts were archived for listening on their website. GSM Students enhanced the game coverage with pregame shows and in-game analysis. During women's volleyball postseason play, Athletics staff collaborated with GSM to provide coverage of their run through the national tournament. The resulting podcasts for the Lady Bruins captured by SLCC Athletics were announced and made accessible on globestudentmedia.com. GSM students took the initiative to regularly produce live Saturday baseball broadcasts from Cate Field on the Jordan Campus for Bruins baseball. GSM students also traveled to rival schools in the SWAC to gain additional experience, covering the games on live remotes for radio. |
