TV Broadcasting

Assume Nothing Most people assume there are only a few positions/careers that are really involved in TV broadcasting, such as:  Anchormen  Directors  Producers  Cameramen

The Plan of Action  Our plan was to look into the field of TV broadcasting and report solely on careers in front of the camera.  However, we soon discovered that all performers must still perform numerous tasks that include a multitude of skills, talents and expertise.

Targeted Population Initial Targeted Population: - 9 th through 12 th grade students with an interest in TV production New Targeted Population: - Entire student body

How to reach the masses?  Best method to reach the entire student body with this information, was with the school news broadcast.
