Posted on Friday, May 2, 2003
"The choice of the positions are based on their experience and involvement in the program," said Bradley Weaver, instructor of broadcast communications at Westminster College,
The newsroom for the radio station will be moved to the third floor of the Andrew J. McKelvey Campus Center set to open in the fall, and the newsroom for the Westminster Cable Network will be moved to combine stations at a later date.
"Combining the radio and television newsroom will allow us to pool resources and communicate better," said Weaver. "We hope to explore creating a broadcast news website for both the radio and television stations. We want to get our students involved in media synergy and writing and producing media content from television, radio and the web.
