SWOT evaluation Strengths Strengths are positive internal factors that can be controlled by the organization. Strengths identified for the internship and the program were part of the SWOT analysis. Using some aspects of the strengths helped in both the recruiting efforts and networking opportunities for current interns. Internship

Networking • •

• •

The chance to meet new people in Studio One, guest speakers and community members out on shoots. A chance to grow and develop as students, also build professional relationships. o To capitalize on this strength Studio One implemented the “25 special people” campaign, coming from the 25 year anniversary. Guest speakers came to speak with interns about their respected field. Also, many students showed dedication to networking by attending conferences hours away. Contests o North Dakota Professional Communicators o Society of Professional Journalists o Northwest Broadcast News Association Workshops – Fargo, ND o Emmy on the Road Workshops Networking trip – Minneapolis, MN o Target Field/Twins o Target Corporate Headquarters o Kare 11 25 Special People (Fall 2012 and Spring 2013) o Josh Andersen, Studio One alum o Amy Unrau Norstedt, Studio One alum o Matt Saari, Studio One alum o Dr. Robert Boyd, former UND Vice President of Student Affairs and member of the Studio One Hall of Fame o Katie Hale, Studio One alum o Adam Caskey, Studio One alum o Victoria Hvaring Garza, Studio One alum – marketing team o Ekeze Enubazor, Studio One alum- marketing team o Eric Beutler, Studio One alum – marketing team o Brynn Radcliffe, Studio One alum – marketing team o Mari Boe, Studio One alum – graphics/programming team o Jessica Denny (Omdahl), Studio One alum – news/programming team 6


Any major • •

o Tamara Bralo, Studio One intern’s mother, news team o Brian Shawn, Studio One Alumni, Regional Communications Officer with Red Cross o Shannon Brewer-Riggs, Studio One alumna, Managing Director at LANE

Students with any major can join Studio One , which is a benefit by not limiting the applicants. Using information from the applicant profile showed that students from 10 different majors applied for the fall 2013 semester. o To distribute the message of Studio One to many majors the marketing team selected a broad range of classes for classroom presentations. Marketing team members also individually went to their own classes for a more diverse class selection. Booths were placed in many different locations across campus, in an attempt to talk to the widest range of students.

Program

Represents community •

Studio One represents UND and the Grand Forks community well. o Promoting awareness about Studio One to the Grand Forks community is important and there are several ways that was done. Many interns participated in the Big Event on April 27, 2013 to help clean up the community and benefit those that may need a little help. There was also an article in the book for the 130th Founders Day which covered the 25 year anniversary. In the Alumni Review an article discusses the anniversary and the new Studio One Scholarship, it in part focused on the first recipient Brian Gendreau. It also focused on alumni donations making so much possible. There was a 25 year news release written to promote the anniversary as well.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses are internal factors that can be controlled by the organization. The weaknesses identified for the internship and the program at the beginning of the semester was used in the SWOT analysis. It is beneficial determining what weaknesses the organization was facing in order to strengthen them.

In the goals and strategy section of the paper the marketing team focused on goals that would strengthen our weaknesses. One of the major weaknesses the internship had been facing for a number of semesters was the lack of internal communication between different teams. This semester the marketing team focused on closing this gap. In order to 7


accomplish this goal the team developed an internal competition. This competition started at the beginning of recruitment. There were a series of easily achievable tasks. A few of the tasks included helping the marketing team with classroom presentations, volunteering at booths, and promoting by wearing the Studio One t-shirt and upload it to social media. This competition was continued to the end of the semester by encouraging interns invite guests to the show. This has provided large audience sizes during the live show even after recruitment season. The average audience size per show this season was over 19 per show and 44 percent of all guests were invited by friends or family.

The result of the internal competition was successful. Out of the 28 non-marketing interns, all 28 have participated in the internal competition. This is the first semester the competition has been in place. The communication and involvement between the teams seems to be beneficial in marketing the program. In future semesters the competition should be continued to encourage interaction between teams.

Below are the weaknesses that were identified at the beginning of the semester. In bold in the weaknesses, the team addressed several of the weaknesses in marketing strategies over the season. Weaknesses in a SWOT analysis are qualities that prevent organizations from accomplishing their full potential, goals or objectives. To be a weakness the quality can be controlled by the organization. The internship Time commitment

The amount of time interns need to put into Studio One, especially for reporters, can be difficult for college students. • Stressing how valuable of hands-on experience is in college and managing time will be beneficial for future careers. o During booths and classroom presentations we emphasized the time commitment is what you put into it. Different positions entail more time than others. It is important to emphasis how managing your time in college can prepare you for your future. Limited amount of interns •

There are a larger number of students who apply for an internship compared to the number of intern spots available. • This can be a good thing, because it shows competitiveness and provides us with the most qualified candidates. o The marketing team stressed the importance of competitiveness. It allows Studio One to pick from a wide number of applicants who are excellent candidates for the internship positions. o Interns this semester consist of 6 freshman, 5 sophomores, 8 juniors and 19 seniors. This allows younger students to re-apply for future positions and stay involved with the program longer. All interns formally meet only at orientation • •

This causes a separation between the different intern teams. Bridging this gap can help fix the communication barriers and bring students together on all teams. o In the marketing plan we stressed get all teams involved through internal competitions. At the end of the semester interns will come together for a volunteer event, The Big Event, and an end of season party. Our goal was to implement the competition. Out of the 38 interns, 28 participated (74%) in the internal competition. Limited number of computers in the News Room •

At times there are not enough computers available for students in the News Room. This can make it difficult for interns who need to use specific programs on the computers to get things done. 9


o Due to uncontrollable factors the marketing team was unable to get more computers in the News Room or EZ News software on more computers. A large factor of that is due to the cost of getting another computer and more software. Equipment schedule conflicts •

There are sometimes scheduling conflicts with the limited amount of equipment available for students to take out on shoots. o There was not enough money to buy more field equipment for students. Only appeals to a few select majors •

As we noticed at the Involvement Expo, many of the students' majors do not match up well with the subject matter of the internship. o During classroom presentations and booths, the marketing team emphasized any major can apply for the position. It is important to get a range of students with a variety of skills because of the many different positions offered. Out of the applicants who applied for during Spring 2013, 26% of the applicants where not communication, marketing, graphic design or atmospheric science majors. A few number of internships offered •

With a limited number of students per team, a lot is left up to the individual of another member of the team is not available. o EX. Reporters having to shoot their whole package if the few photographers/other reporters are unavailable. Unpaid •

Unpaid internships mean students have to have at least 1 part-time job in order to live comfortably through the semester. This creates time problems and financial stress. o During classroom presentations and booths we emphasized how you can receive school credit and receive hands-on experience. We were also able to emphasize how anyone could receive arts and science credits. Now Studio One now offers a $500 scholarship for interns. o Results from the all student survey showed students value hands-on experience. The marketing team expressed how you can gain a hands-on experience with this internship. Sometimes stories are out of date •

Some stories may be out of date when then are rebroadcasted. o The relevance at the time is currently out of our control, because Studio One only produces a weekly show. o The DCT does not post weathercast segments to YouTube because of time sensitivity.

10


The program Limited markets •

Content has national appeal, but it makes it difficult to reach new markets in other states because if the requirements they have to be their markets. • Studio One can identify if there are larger markets it wants to enter and find stories that would fit the requirements to be in that market. o A lot of the markets from last semester were not able to take outside programs they needed at least 50% of the information to be in their community. No “App” available •

People are switching from watching television when it airs to online when they have time. • Studio One can continue uploading the website with clips from the show. During booths or classroom presentations we can create QR Codes that bring people directly to the recent stories. o We do not have enough resources. Maintaining viewers •

A lot of new viewers come from new interns. Friends and family members watch what their friend/family member has made and when they leave their internship, lose interest in the show o In the marketing plan we implemented a “Like” Campaign. This campaign helps viewers to come back week-to-week that maintain our viewers. The digital communications team worked to put up YouTube videos as the show was being aired. This allowed viewers to watch and share stories right away. o DCT also is directly emailed to people who may have an interest in specific stories. For example the package on car wash and Altru stories. Content •

Although aimed towards a Grand Forks/UND audience, many of our viewers in other states may not fully understand or appreciate the stories that are shown on our show. o Reporters wrote their scripts to appeal nationally. This helps give the show relevance to many demographics. Studio One does not have a mobile website •

There are limited resources to have a mobile site at this time. It would be beneficial for the program because there is a trend in accessing mobile sites through smartphones. o Not enough resources to have a mobile website. According to the all student survey, 65 percent of students use their phones to check social media sites.

11


Our show is not in HD •

The budget for switching everything to HD is extremely expensive but something to update in the future. o Not enough resources Only the telecast is advertised •

Advertising the entire telecast schedule with the channels would inform a larger audience. o Our digital communications team worked on posting stories on Facebook and Twitter. Inconsistent domains •

It can be difficult searching for Studio One on the website and social media sites with different domains, Studio One and Studio 1. o There was not enough time to change everything.

Opportunities

At the start of the season, there were many opportunities that we were able to capitalize on to better both the Studio One internship and the program. A few of the most important opportunities were making a larger presence in 100 classrooms and also through social media websites. Throughout the semester, out of the 40+ classroom presentations, at least half were to 100 level or low 200 level classes, where they mainly consist of students freshman or sophomore in standing. The use of social media also increased the awareness of the program on a local (UND) and also public (in the community) level. Creating a few campaigns through these social media networks helped us accomplish our goals for the season such as amount of likes added compared to previous seasons and also getting more followers on twitter. A few of the public events have been consistent throughout the past such as the big event but we also have capitalized on others like a PA read at the basketball game and an attempt to have an ad in the Dakota Student at the UND hockey game. Our work in developing larger audiences was also addressed by informing high schools and attempting to have larger groups attend different shows. There were 4 high schools that

12


attended different shows along with other groups in the community that helped us reach our goal for weekly audience attendance.

Threats

Internship Other paid internships - Paid internships may be more attractive to students.

We understand the stresses of being a student and the fact that Studio One does not offer pay. However, we have stressed the Studio One scholarship. • We capitalized on hands on experience as an aspect of being an intern, considering this was most important to students. Think the program is only for interns/ TV personality •

Students who are not eligible for internships may not consider volunteering for the program. • • Program

We address the fact that students are able to volunteer for the program in classroom presentations, booths and radio events. We reached out to graphic design, weather, aviation, marketing and communication classes to inform students the Studio One internship is for more than people interested in television.

Compete with other news stations at 5 p.m. - Other news stations are better known and potentially viewed as more credible than Studio One. •

We offer the chance to be a part of a live audience and give behind the scene tours, which is unique to Studio One.

Viewers are choosing other mediums to watch news - Technology offers many options to watch hear or read about news, i.e. online news. • • • •

We have branched out to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. We also have an official website. Our Twitter followers increased by 15%, and Facebook increased by 10%. This is in part due to the new position of social media producer.

Staying current - Studio One’s news packages may not be the most current stories. • •

Digital Communications Team gets show up right away. Viewers are able to watch news reported that day on social media.

Internal goals evaluation Audience development competition The audience development competition was established to encourage interns to invite guests to the show. The audience adds an additional aspect the program when Studio One produces a live show. There are many people who are important to invite to show such as guests who were interviewed, potential student interns, the public, family and friends. Everyone involved in the program has the opportunity to invite many of these people to the show. The goal of this competition is to ensure interns are inviting people they know to attend a live production. The competition has proven to be successful. During the spring 2012 semester the average audience size was six guests per. During the fall 2012 the average audience size was 13.37 guests per show. This semester, spring 2013, we have an average of 19.7 guests per show. The research goes back to the majority of our guests coming from students who invited them to the show and high schools.

Marketing team competition The marketing team competition was established to encourage all Studio One interns to help with recruitment and increase communication between all of the teams. All of the interns were divided up into three teams. The teams included a news team (silver), programming (black) team and a team comprised of weather, graphics and a few production members (red).

The goal is for each intern to earn points for their team. The team with the most points will win an end of the season pizza party. The way an intern could win points was by volunteering at a booth, speaking at a classroom presentation, nominating someone for the internship, wearing the Studio One shirt on t-shirt days, participating in recruitment events and inviting guests to the show.

Overall a major of the interns participated in the competition. Out of the 38 interns in Studio One 28 participated. It was a great way to strengthen the internal bonds between the teams. It also helped the marketing team with recruitment of the internship and the program. The winner for the inaugural season was the News Team.

Internal newsletters

News Programming Weather/production/ graphics

Internal newsletters, “Back to You,� were sent out to everyone in Studio One biweekly. This newsletter informed everyone in the program of what was happing during the following week. It was beneficial during recruitment season. It provided information to interns of when booths were on campus, classroom presentations and when to wear their Studio One t-shirt. It also encouraged the internal competition because it showed the rankings of which team was winning. After the 20


recruitment season the newsletter provided information on the social media campaigns, statistics on top stories and guest interviews.

E-news Ketters Every semester members of the marketing team interview alumni. The team members interview the alumni about what positions they had in Studio One, what their experience was like, what they are doing now and how Studio One benefited their careers. This semester E-newsletters were sent out on the beginning of March and April. There was also an E-news letter sent out in May.

Below are some of the statistics about how many people clicked the newsletter, when they clicked the newsletter, how they accessed the newsletter and where they were in the world. The majority of viewers click to view the e-news letter right when it is sent out. This shows that e-news letters live only a day. The viewers are also accessing the e-news letter primarily through Facebook and direct e-mail.

March E-Mews letters/stats Tips for staying inspired as a graphic designer By: Meghan Forney

Some people struggle to find their creative side while others flourish. One Studio One alumna shares tips for keeping graphic design projects original.

Kelsey Dahl, works in the marketing department at Sanford Health in Bismarck, N.D. During her time at Studio One, she worked as an electronic graphic designer. “I learned a lot about designing graphics for news stories that quickly grab the viewer’s attention. Studio One taught me the difference between viewing graphics on a television screen/monitor versus other mediums,” she says. Here are her tips for inspiring innovative ideas.

Dahl's seven tips for keeping graphic design ideas fresh: 1. Go online. She says getting inspired is as easy as getting online. Online workshops and tutorials are a great way to get excited and start a new project. She recommends Lynda and Adobe for finding great for tutorials as well as new software information and tips. 2. Gather ideas. Work with other graphic designers to develop original elements. Everyone has his or her own design style and there is always something to learn or try from another designer. 3. Challenge yourself. Don’t pass up a project because you don’t think that you can do it. Start with a positive attitude and it will be that much more rewarding when you successfully finish. 4. Observe your surroundings. Pay attention to designs that catch your eye. I can’t help but think of how something was designed/created when I see any visual piece. Whether it is a billboard you see while driving, a brochure at the doctor’s office or a commercial on TV…there is always something to inspire you. 5. Push the limits. Many companies have brand standards that need to be followed. It is easy to fall into a rut using the same colors and fonts every day. Try to push the boundaries within the company standards. This will help inspire you and keep your mind sharp when working on future projects. 6. Read design articles. They can promote new software tips and tricks that keep you designing ‘out-of-the-box’. Liquid Treat offers weekly subscriptions and features trendy compositions on the site. 7. Be competitive. Browse company logos or participate in an online logo contest. You will learn from the other designers, work on projects that you normally wouldn’t and receive feedback from designers and clients. “All of these ideas combined will help keep a designer's mind fresh and excited for the next project” explains Dahl. She emphasizes the importance of having fun while being creative. “I know that I continue to grow as a designer and feel that my skills continue to improve as I gain more experience in my profession.”

Four tips for the aspiring freelancer By: Kayla Jahraus

Many people dream of being their own boss. Creating your own hours, choosing which clients to represent and getting your name into the business world independently seems like the perfect career for some. Ivy (Arnesen) Maday, a Studio One alumna, talks about being your own manager. She says she got a solid start in the field during her college internship with Studio One.

During her two semesters at Studio One, Maday was on the programming and production teams. Her positions included: feature reporter, camera operator, producer and co-anchor. She says these jobs were a vital asset when she was ready to look for a post-graduation career. “My roles at Studio One helped me understand how pressure packed television can be and how to effectively work with the television media,” she explains. After graduation, Maday worked at a corporate job for five years. She soon discovered she wanted more flexibility in her career and decided to break out on her own. She now works as a freelance public relations specialist. Maday has worked with a variety of clients, including a vodka company, fitness centers and a family resort business. Her adjustable schedule has become very important. “I recently had a baby and this role allows me to set my own schedule and have the freedom to juggle both work and family,” she says. Maday offers some tips for making it in the world of freelance:

Maday's tips for the freelancer: 1. It’s all about connections. The most important thing that you can do is put yourself out there. Network, network, network! 2. Never be afraid to think big. You do not always need to come from a big city or company to get an important job. Sometimes being the small kid on the block has its advantages. I got my first client from posting an ad on Craig's List offering PR services to small companies who couldn't afford to hire a big agency. 3. Remain two steps ahead. Plan accordingly! Figure out major things like finances, logistics and details before you embark on this journey. Freelancing can be challenging and if you find yourself without a client for a month, you need to be prepared. 4. Make yourself known. Taking advantage of the opportunities offered through social media can be a big asset. Market yourself at all times! It might be surprising, but things like your Twitter feed, Instagram page and your LinkedIn profile might land you a client when you least expect it.

Maday has moved away from the state of North Dakota for some time, but says she will never forget some fundamental lessons from her internship and the northern culture. “It's very important to respect deadlines, call people back and answer emails if you want to work with someone in the future. The ‘North Dakota nice’ philosophy goes a long way in the PR industry!”

Five tips for making it in radio By: Molly Price

The ability to make it in the broadcasting industry may seem easy. Some think all you need is a good speaking voice and the skill of conversation. One radio producer and Studio One alumna gives insight into the workday on the airways. Kelly (Gullickson) Madison has been in media for more than 20 years and exudes a passion for radio and journalism that goes far beyond the capacity to keep a conversation going.

Madison graduated from the University of North Dakota with a bachelor's degree in journalism from the College of Communication. She says she was lucky enough to be a part of Studio One in its first couple years of production. Back then, the show was only 30 minutes. She worked in various positions including: floor manager, technical director, audio operator, graphics generator, and producer. Madison says radio has always been an interest and that Studio One aided in her knowledge of both the technical and teamwork skills that go into producing a great show. “Studio One professionals are always there to push you to the next step,” she says. Not only was she in Studio One when they produced a half an hour show but she was there when they switched over to a full hour program. She remembers the rush of making that change and how rewarding it felt when she and her team were able to produce a successful longer show.

After college, Madison worked for a number of different jobs including radio stations in Grand Forks such as KFJM, KNOX, KCNN, and KJKJ. She later moved to the warm and sunny Phoenix, Ariz. where she worked at KBAQ radio. Somewhere in between radio, Madison switched over to working on the corporate side of the workforce and worked for two-then Fortune 500 companies, Circuit City and Insight Enterprises. Although she enjoyed working for large companies, she realized that her true passion was broadcasting. Currently, she is settled in Tempe, Ariz. where she says she loves her job and team at KJZZ radio.

This ambitious alumna says dealing with pressure on the job reminds her of childhood lessons. “It’s like riding a bike. Even when it’s really scary, you’ve got to learn from the mistakes [and learn how to better yourself from them.]” Madison says in radio and journalism, curiosity does not necessarily kill the cat. Being inquisitive and digging deep to get answers can be the most important part of telling a story. “Being a good journalist isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. [Learn] how to take information you get from others [and better yourself],” she explains.

Madison's five tips to help ambitious journalists: 1. Be open to new ideas and opportunities. Don’t be afraid to get out there and try new things. Make a statement for yourself by letting others know you're there to learn. In order to gain experience and knowledge, you have to be tenacious and let yourself be free to new ventures. Even if it may seem scary and unfamiliar, let yourself try it. This will allow you to cultivate new relationships and enhance your network of opportunities.

31


2. Be curious and learn how to listen. Urge yourself to learn more. Be polite, yet don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions. Sometimes you’ve got to get your hands dirty. You never know what little nuggets of beauty can come your way [when you listen]. 3. Listen to your editor. There are times you are going to want to let your ego fly and protect the hard work you have just created. Allow others to give you positive feedback and better yourself from their expertise. 4. Be an expert in many fields. Try and learn about as much as you can. Gain knowledge and experience by taking the time to listen to those who are experts in their field. Knowing a little bit about everything can go a long way. 5. Love what you do. Don’t be afraid to love what you do! The right environment of supportive coworkers and supervisors can help your talents flourish. Radio may not be for those seeking a 9-5 job, but for those looking an adrenaline filled occupation, reporting could be the perfect fit.

April E-Mews letters/stats Asking for opportunities – making it in sports marketing By: Kayla Jahraus

Many career opportunities happen when we least expect them, but for Studio One alumnus Max Huber, he says you just have to ask for them.

Huber’s road to a sports marketing career started when he was a freshman at the University of North Dakota. He spent one semester as a Studio One intern where he was a sports reporter and camera operator. During his time with the program he says he thought the UND women’s soccer sports announcer could use some improvement and asked the coach if he could take over the position. He took the unpaid position of a public address announcer for different UND sporting events.

Huber later became an events management/marketing team intern with the UND Athletics Department. He received recognition for his dedication. When the Marketing Director left, he took on major responsibilities in event coordination. After graduating, Huber was offered a position as a marketing coordinator at Ralph Engelstad Arena and a year later moved into a full-time role as the director of event marketing and group sales. In addition to his full time job, he also emceed home hockey and football games as well as announcing for other UND teams

Two years later, Huber and his wife moved to St. Paul, Minn. to take on new challenges. He worked for the St. Paul Saints Professional Baseball Club as the Director of Special Events. A year and a half into his job he was asked by a friend to join his staff at row27 Sports Marketing. The company, row27 specializes in promoting teams through interactive websites and app development. Huber currently is an account executive with the business.

Six guidelines for success in sports marketing Huber offers some tips for gaining and maintaining a career in promoting athletics. • Pay your dues in the minors. I believe in internships and the experience that people are able to gain from them. They might not be the most glamorous of roles, but it gives you a better appreciation of how things work in a sports environment. • Get an agent. Networking is extremely important and it isn't just about getting someone’s card. Get to know them and ask them how they were able to succeed in their position and get to where they are. Ask them where they've failed and what it taught them. These same people may be the ones to hire you someday. So send out emails, make phone calls, attend seminars and meet people. • Know your X’s and O’s. The sports marketing and event world, when you really look at it, is a constant. The things that change are the people involved and what they are able to accomplish. A basketball game is a basketball game, but what happens at that game, on the court and entertainment-wise, is the variable. So see what others are doing out there. There is no shame in "stealing" an idea from another team/organization. That is how it works in this world! • Don’t be afraid to strike-out. The worst that can happen is someone says "no" to your idea. Keep your mind sharp and think of new ways to engage your fans and your audience. That one cutting-edge idea might make a season or at the very least make a fans day. When 34


it comes down to it, it is about the fan and keeping them coming back. If they have a great time at an event, win-lose-or draw, the chances are they will return and become an even bigger fan than before. That crazy, outlandish idea may morph itself into something absolutely brilliant. • Substitute when needed. Whether it is brainstorming or asking a colleague about a specific sales technique, put your pride aside and get the most out of your connections. There are many people in this industry that have been around the block and have more experience than I could ever hope for. They might not have the answer, but they may be able to guide you to a solution. • Take time-outs. It is very easy to work too much and too hard when you are in sports. It is an extremely competitive field and it forces people to think that they need to work all the time. This does not mean that you can slack off, but know your limits and take a day off when you need one. I struggled with this at [previous jobs] and was at every single event, working seven days a week for a month or more straight. There are more important things in life than work. Huber seized opportunities throughout his career, but he says his start with Studio One encouraged him to feel confident to pursue potential prospects. “It got me to be that much more comfortable working in a team setting, being in a media-based role and it really helped with my decision-making skills. It also helped me along my career-path as I was able to understand what it meant to be a good leader, role model, teacher and mentor,” he says. Huber adds that he is always looking for ways to give back and help others. He knows from experience that asking for a chance can be the first stride towards a successful career.

Three minutes to energize, entertain and inform By: Meghan Forney

A typical morning weathercast last just a few minutes. Within a short window, meteorologists have the challenge of keeping viewers from changing the channel while incorporating the sciences into an engaging segment. “You have to have energy. You’re not only there to inform people, but you have to entertain them too, and you have to do it in three minutes” Schroeder says.

Brian Schroeder, Studio One alumnus, knows about keeping viewers tuned into the forecast. He currently works as the weather caster on the morning and noon weather in Lima, Ohio. He says his internship at Studio One helped him prepare for his current career. “Studio One was always the icing on the cake,” Schroeder explains. “The way it was run and the product that was put out was always top of the line.” Putting together the morning shows can be a complex process. Brian says it’s a combination of math, dedication and waking up with the early birds.

Brian’s five facts about the meteorologist’s workday:

1. Early alarms. Schroeder works as a morning weathercaster. His day typically starts at 2:30 a.m. and he’s at the station by 3:30 a.m. On the bright side, his work day wraps up at 1:00 p.m. 2. Accurate. Some people believe forecasts are only 50% accurate, but according to Schroeder, meteorologists are able to predict forecasts closer to 80% accuracy. “I have half a dozen or more models to choose from to make my forecast. There’s a lot more information out there and it’s in a very useful format, making forecasts much more accurate.” 3. Math and physics. The amount of math and physics required to become a meteorologist is similar to that of an engineer. “We are required to take multiple semesters of calculus, physics and also differential equations and statistics.” 4. Not all forecasts are created equal. There are easy days, and there are days where you could spend hours looking over information. Those are usually the tough forecasts, when you’re predicting severe weather such as heavy snow, severe thunderstorms or heavy rain. 5. Folklore. “Don’t believe all the folklore you hear. Some folklore is more science based such as ‘red sky at night, sailor’s delight’ where as others are merely myths.” Despite the challenges of the job, like an early wake up, there are benefits to relaying the weather. “I’d like to think part of my job is keeping people safe and helping them prepare their day,” explains Schroeder. He emphasizes the importance enjoying the workday. “You have to like what you’re doing. The worst situation I’ve been in is a job you don’t like that doesn’t pay well and it will really take its toll on you. Work a little harder. Learn how to write, shoot and edit, or for reporters, get in front of the green screen. Don’t be afraid to take one step backwards so you can take two steps forward.”

May E-Mewsletters/stats Making it in the news business By: Kayla Jahraus

The persistence of Wile E. Coyote chasing after the Road Runner is constant. He doesn’t succeed at catching his speedy target but this furry character never gives up. Studio One alumna, Amy UnrauNorstedt, works as a weekend news anchor/producer and a multimedia journalist with KVLY Valley News Live in Fargo, N.D. Her work day has some similar aspects to a Merrie Melodies cartoon. For this reporter, the pursuit of a story is continuous.

She says her time at the University of North Dakota helped prepare her for her future career. She interned for six semesters with Studio One, working as a news reporter, feature reporter, stage manager, Headline News Team reporter, co-anchor, spotlight reporter and as the assistant news director. “Studio One gave me the ability to think and react quickly. When you're out in the field reporting, there are a lot of tough decisions you have to make. Studio One gave me the opportunity to acquire this skill before my job and livelihood depended on that ability,” she says.

Right before she graduated, she applied at KVLY. At the time, the job seemed as elusive as the Road Runner. “The news director…took a long time to fill positions. I dropped off and emailed my résumé, cover letter and demo that April, called him every couple of weeks to see if he was ready to hire and then finally in June, he invited me in for an interview and hired me the next day,” she says. Unrau-Norstedt is a familiar face in the eastern part of N.D. She stays busy anchoring and producing content for Valley News Live. She has some tips for keeping up in the news business and catching great stories.

Tips for making it in the news business: 1. Be more than just a voice. News directors want to see how you act on TV, so the more creative stand-ups you can do as a student, the better. 2. Remember “The Golden Rule.” News can be a stressful job to have. It's filled with deadlines, nerves and pressure. In that atmosphere, people can be tough to work with. Don't let it get to you and always treat people with respect. 3. Keep it fresh. Watch your station's stories, your competitors' stories and stories from outside your market. It is easy to "feel safe" in a job, but sometimes that security can lead to complacency. Look at other people's work, learn from it and challenge yourself to be creative with your writing, camera shots, edits and voice style. 4. Be a “yes” person. This is especially true when you are new in the business. If you get assigned a story that you think is difficult to execute, don't quit. Try as hard as you can to tell the story. Also, during my first year, I never turned down the opportunity to come in on my day off. Sounds crazy, but I felt lucky to have my job and I wanted to prove that I wanted what was best for the station. 5. Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn. Whether you're having a tough time landing a job, or you have a job and had a really bad day on air, it's going to be okay. There isn't always going to be someone like the staff members at Studio One to tell you that you're

39


awesome. You have to tell yourself. When you are positive, everything is easier.

Unrau-Norstedt’s experience gives some great insight for those pursuing a career. Never giving up on goals does pay off. She illustrates that new graduates can catch a career though hard work and determination. “Find what makes you happy, and incorporate it into your life. Whether it’s family, faith, a hobby, etc., if you're happy with yourself, you'll be happier in your career. And who knows, maybe your good attitude will rub off on others,” she says.

Eight tips for shooting quality video By: Meghan Forney

Capturing a story through videography can be challenging. One Studio One alumnus knows the ins-and-outs of producing a top-notch story. Shawn Engel says it takes hard work, dedication and enthusiasm. “Helping to tell people’s emotional stories is my passion,” he explains.

Shawn Engel currently works at UnitedHealthcare, in Minneapolis, Minn. He is the senior videographer as well as a video editor, in the video production department. He says his internship at Studio One gave him the experience needed to land his first job after college. “Studio One instilled in me many important values like integrity, compassion, and the importance of maintaining strong relationships,” he explains. “It taught me if you want to be successful you have to stay true to commitments and always meet deadlines.”

Engel’s eight tips to capturing great video: 1. Hold your shots for at least 10 seconds. If you allow yourself to hold the frame for at least 10 seconds you can guarantee you get the focus and exposure correct before you move onto the next visual. 2. Lighting. Make sure you light the subjects in interviews on the correct side. One easy trick to remember is to sandwich the reporter and interviewee in-between you and the main [key] light. 3. Look for special moments. Anticipating “moments” is important to getting a great video. 4. Get close-ups. A close-up is your best friend during editing. Close-ups can be used to transition the scene, or get from one side of the room to another. 5. Shoot in sequences. Shooting video in sequences will allow you to better edit your footage together. Try to remember tight shot, medium shot, wide shot. Also try adding extreme tight shots and extreme wide shots. Using these techniques together will add a lot to your footage. 6. Always capture extra footage. It’s better to have too much, rather than not enough. 7. Don’t rely on the tripod. Getting great video is hard work. It requires different angles and a lot of on and off the tripod. 8. Take the time to properly mic someone. Having good audio is just as important as having creative visuals. This seasoned videographer knows the pay-off of putting the fundamentals into play. Engel has several award-winning stories including Ride 2 Recovery. “Ride 2 Recovery is a nonprofit that helps injured veterans recover from the physical and emotional wounds of war, by using cycling as a way to help heal mentally.” Engel followed the riders through their eight day, 530 mile journey from Ground Zero in New York City, to Shanksville, Pa. to their last stop, the Pentagon in Washington D.C. “There were many struggles and triumphs along the way, but in the end we came up with a piece that was very well received by everyone.” The video, Ride 2 Recovery won many national awards including three Telly Awards, seven Communicator Awards and four Hermes Awards.

42


Above all, Engel stresses the importance of being creative in your work. “Even if you’re feeling rushed, take the time to think and shoot creatively, it will make you stand out above the rest.” You can view more of Shawn’s work here.

It is interesting to note that of the 42 external applications, 17 of them were from students who signed up to receive more information during the fall 2012 recruitment and two of the applicants signed up in the spring of 2012. During the fall 2012 recruitment we had 225 students sign up for more information, showing that during times of high recruitment, more students are likely to apply in following semesters. These stats enforce the idea that by keeping our presence known for extended periods of time, we are able to attract students who may not be ready to apply right away. Below is an idea of what the numbers look like in percentages.

Negative comments/suggestions •

"Strange, unrelated ending. Very good mechanics throughout the show. Main anchors can use a distracting amount of hands (playing with pen too much). I enjoyed the sports anchor; he just needs to minimize reading errors. Screen interviews. The guest was very monotone. Professional staff. Professional graphics. Work on natural communication with anchorsconversation seemed faked. Vary commercials.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Learn how one hospital is bringing state-of-the-art procedures to the Midwest region to help infants. Also, some safety experts say that while flat-screen TVs may be a source of entertainment, the heavy units also can be dangerous. Infant cardiac (heart) surgery is a rare and delicate procedure. Altru Hospital in Grand Forks joins the few hospitals in the region that perform these operations. Durga Panda, a neonatologist, has helped the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) expand by developing a team that provides infant cardiac procedures. “It’s not a one [person] effort, it is a whole team effort … We took about a year to develop and practice the whole thing before we instituted the program,” Panda says. This week he will discuss his specialized team, how the program expanded and how it feels to help children. Also on the show, learn how families with children should properly place flat-screen televisions. According to the U.S. Consumer Safety Products Commission, every year nearly 13,000 children are injured by falling televisions. A child dies every three weeks from these accidents. "We are starting to see a lot of flat-screen TVs and they are very top heavy…they are very likely to tip over on a small child," says Carma Hanson, Safe Kids Grand Forks Coordinator. Families can take preventative actions suggested by safety experts to keep televisions as a source of entertainment instead of a cause for concern. Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center. The program airs live on UND Channel 3 on Thursdays at 5 p.m. Re-broadcasts can be seen at 7 a.m., noon, 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily and on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Prairie Public Television airs Studio One on Saturday at 6 a.m. The program can also be seen by viewers in Bismarck-Mandan, Dickinson, Fargo, Jamestown, Minot and Ray, N.D.; Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minn.; Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo.; Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba and online at www.studio1.und.edu.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Learn how a Lego competition teaches children the value of teamwork. Also, find out who protects student pilots when the weather gets bad, on the next edition of Studio One. The FIRST LEGO League is a contest between students that is designed to help children and teenagers get excited about math and technology. “You get to work on a robot, you get to build stuff, you get to come here and then you get to compete, you get to meet all these people,” explains Katy Berg, FIRST LEGO League participant. “There are so many great experiences that you have because you learn how to work with a team… you can face challenges… but by the end you usually come up with something really good by working together.” Participants are judged on core values including working and learning together, honoring the spirit of friendly competition and displaying gracious professionalism. Also on this week’s show, many people are frustrated when flights are delayed or cancelled. That same feeling is often felt by student pilots when the weather is too dangerous for take-off. Supervisors of flights, or SOFs, help determine when conditions are hazardous. SOF Katrina Kugler, says safety is the priority. “During the winter time, icing is our biggest concern. Other than icing the SOFs look out for wind and cold measurements.” Tune in this week to learn what other conditions can keep aviators grounded. Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center. The program airs live on UND Channel 3 on Thursdays at 5 p.m. Re-broadcasts can be seen at 7 a.m., noon, 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily and on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Prairie Public Television airs Studio One on Saturday at 6 a.m. The program can also be seen by viewers in Bismarck-Mandan, Dickinson, Fargo, Jamestown, Minot and Ray, N.D.; Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minn.; Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo.; Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba and online at www.studio1.und.edu.

STUDIO ONE FEATURES RUSALKA DANCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVANCEMENTS Award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks GRAND FORKS, N.D. — This week on Studio One, learn about a Ukrainian tradition that captures the imagination of audiences around the world and how the University of North Dakota Aviation Department is bringing law enforcement to new heights. Rusalka is a traditional dance based on Ukrainian folklore. One Rusalka ensemble from Manitoba, Canada has been performing for almost 50 years. They share their unique history with audiences worldwide through energetic shows. “I love the energy, I love the passion and I love being able to express my culture in a way that is different than most,” says one dancer. This group says they strive to share their traditions through every performance. Also, the Grand Forks County Police Department is working with the UND Aviation Department to bring a new view to the force. This new project uses unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for police regulation. “Our responsibility is dealing with public safety … this aircraft is going to save lives,” says Robert Rost, Grand Forks County Sheriff. Alan Frazier, an associate professor of aerospace at UND is working with the department as the chief pilot for the UAS unit. Frazier started this research project involving UAS for police regulation in 2009.

STUDIO ONE FEATURES PREVENTING TUBERCULOSIS AND RAISING WHITETAIL DEER Award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Learn how some community health experts are trying to stop the spread of tuberculosis. Also, one family talks about why they raise whitetail deer this week on Studio One. Two public health professionals, Don Shields and Raymond Goldsteen, discuss the process of stopping the spread of a disease through education. North Dakota has seen a recent increase in tuberculosis cases, an infection of the lungs or throat. According to Shields, there have been 16 cases this year compared with an average of one or two in previous years. By educating the general public and taking measures to treat current cases, Goldsteen says the spread can be contained. Find out what measures help eliminate this disease. Also, one family from a small town in northern Minnesota enjoys the beauty of nature in a unique way. The Porter family raises whitetail deer on their farm. “The whole family is engaged in it and it’s really rewarding,” says Steve Porter, owner of Trophy Whitetail. The Porters say raising these animals brings enjoyment but comes with challenges. “[The deer] will never be loyal to me like a dog, he would never try to protect me and on any given day he might turn on me and try and kill me. So, there is no loyalty,” said Porter. This family spends time traveling with their deer and educating students in different communities about does and bucks. They encourage others to enjoy the outdoors. Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center.

STUDIO ONE FEATURES CULTURAL IDENTITY AND ANTI-OBESITY CAMPAIGNS Award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks GRAND FORKS, N.D. — This week on Studio One, a professor talks about how personal and environmental experiences of communities can translate into academic success. Also, find out why some junk food companies are working to promote health with their products. This week, UND Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology, Rachel Navarro will talk about her research on cultural identity and discrimination and how these influences can impact education. She was recently awarded the 2013 Henry Tomes Award for her work with ethnic communities. Navarro examines how personal and environmental experiences can impact certain groups. “I think it is really important for people to be able to retain some of their cultural identities at the same time as being able to learn to bridge some of those cultural communications,” she says. Navarro is building a research team to study ethnic groups at UND who do not identify with traditionally predominant groups. Also on the show, junk food companies are tackling health issues related to obesity. The Coca-Cola Co. and Mars, Inc. have developed anti-obesity advertising campaigns. UND Associate Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics Jan Goodwin discusses how this can benefit consumers. “The reality is that this country has a major health problem, and obesity is the underlying factor of that,” explains Goodwin. The U.S. Census Bureau says Americans consume about 7.7 million pounds of candy annually. Some say the anti-obesity campaigns can help build awareness for this growing problem.

This week on Studio One, learn about a place helping young hockey players take their game to the next level. Also, a gardening expert shares tips on ways to get a head-start by first planting in your home. Award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — The Hockey Academy at Ralph Engelstad Area specializes in teaching young athletes to pick up their game while training with a puck. Players learn to skate comfortably in any direction on the ice. Coaches use a skating treadmill that allows students to skate forward and backward, stick handle and practice shooting. “Having the capacity to show kids in the mirror what they’re doing on their skating stride and what we want to get the most out of it…[is] one of the best things to help kids,” says Hockey Academy coach, Karl Goehring. Another benefit to the academy is the lengthy history the coach has in the sport. Goehring is a two-time All-American at the University of North Dakota and was the goaltender on the school’s last national championship team in 2000. Three years ago he decided it was time to give back to the sport he loves. He says the hard work players learn during practice will translate to success on and off the ice.

Also, Red River Zoo Education Director, Leila Goulet talks about her passion for animals. Goulet spends time teaching children in her community about conservation. The award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks. GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Sergeant Travis Jacobson will discuss how synthetic drugs are becoming a serious concern across the United States. He will define what makes a “synthetic” substance and why they can be hazardous. “You seldom know what is in the drugs. The only way you would know is if some of these compounds are being made in a factory setting …it’s not exact science going into this ,” he says. These imitation substances also can have more serious legal consequences including the risk of a C Felony. Jacobson also works to prevent the use of harmful materials. He gives educational presentations to help parents identify symptoms of addiction and learn the dangers of these imitation substances. Also on the show, Red River Zoo Education Director, Leila Goulet, explains how children can be taught about wild animals and conservation. “They are so open to learning about animals,” says Goulet. “To start off at an early age to develop this appreciation for wildlife, I think that is so important.” Another aspect of her job is using the Species Survival Plan in her work at the zoo. This allows zoologists to breed animals that are genetically different and increase the number of that species. Goulet will bring three companions to the live telecast to help share the message of wildlife preservation.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features autism awareness and mobile checkouts

This week on Studio One, one mother talks about the love and determination it takes to help a child with autism. Also, learn why stores are replacing cash registers with mobile checkout devices. Award-winning news show airs on Channel 3 in Grand Forks. GRAND FORKS, N.D. — In 2005, Ethan Suda was diagnosed with a regressive form of autism. His mother, Jalene Suda, decided to quit her job to devote herself full-time to help him with therapy. She discusses how her family worked through the symptoms of this disorder. “We can control autism, it doesn’t control us anymore,” says Suda. With three years of full-time therapy and as many as six therapists coming to their home weekly, Ethan responded to treatment. His symptoms started to dissipate one by one. “It was a rewarding process,” says Suda. Now Ethan is completely independent in social settings. Tune in to hear this mother’s story of dedication and determination to overcome challenges. Also, companies such as Barneys New York, Urban Outfitters and Finish Line are testing the mobile checkout devices known as iStore. This technology allows customers to checkout anywhere in the store, instead of waiting in line. One store manager says that this new system has helped with customer relations, as employees are able to stay connected with shoppers during the entire purchase process. For many businesses, the new gadgets cost half the price of a new cash register. As good reviews continue, many stores may continue to replace traditional registers.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Susan Balcom Walton, Vice President for University and Public Affairs at the University of North Dakota and co-author Joel J. Campbell wrote Making it Work: Improving the Relationship between Public Relations Spokespeople & Journalists. Their book describes the sometimes unharmonious relationship between the public relations and journalism fields. Their shared goal is relaying meaningful information to the public about building good relationships. “I think the common ground is trust and ethics,” says Walton. The two address specific conflicts between the professions and how they’re trying to help others establish a better understanding of each field in the book. Natasha Thomas has been working with henna tattoos for six years. Henna is a shrub that can be crushed into powder, liquidized into paste and used to temporarily dye skin. Her interest sparked when she started belly dancing. The group that she dances with gets henna tattoos before each performance. “It sort of became a part of your costuming and your jewelry,” Thomas says. The tattoos are also used in cultures to represent traditions. “It’s used because it looks beautiful and to embellish yourself,” explains Thomas. She will demonstrate how to use this traditional ink and will talk about how she loves the creativity of this art form.

Studio One celebrates 25 years on the University of North Dakota campus

Studio One has been producing award-winning television productions on the UND campus for nearly a quarter of a century. The program and students have received more than 650 awards and have worked with more than 800 alumni in the past 25 years. The show can be seen across the Midwest and in southern Manitoba. GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center. The show is a weekly telecast similar to network morning news like the Today Show or Good Morning America. This year, Studio One celebrated 25 years on the University of North Dakota campus. The concept for Studio One was developed by UND student Tom Buehring in 1986. Buehring desired experience producing and anchoring a news and information program. At that time, no such program existed on the University campus. Together Buehring and Barry Brode assembled a team of students, faculty and staff to develop the show. The first live telecast aired on February 5, 1987. Now more than 800 students have participated in the program gaining valuable skills in teamwork, producing quality work, professionalism and communication. Studio One has achieved many milestones in the last 25 years including more than 650 regional awards. For the 2012 2013 academic year, Studio One recently received 12 regional awards and 31 North Dakota Professional Communicators awards for the show and student work. Last fall, Studio One awarded their first scholarship to intern Brian Gendreau, and will award a second scholarship in the spring. UND Television Center Director of Television and Radio, Barry Brode explains one of the greatest achievements is the progress the program has made in a quarter of a century. “When we started the program 25 years ago, we never anticipated the alumni network that would form,” Brode says. “Now with so many of our alumni in hiring positions it’s a great opportunity for our interns to connect with them. Our alumni know what’s expected of students who participate in the program and that can benefit our interns who are entering the job market.” In addition to playing in North Dakota markets, the program also plays across the Midwest and in Winnipeg. “We look forward to expanding into new markets in the years to come,” said Brode. Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center. The program airs live on UND Channel 3 on Thursdays at 5 p.m. Re-broadcasts can be seen at 7 a.m., noon, 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily and on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Prairie Public Television airs Studio One on Saturday at 6 a.m. The program can also be seen by viewers in Bismarck-Mandan, Dickinson, Fargo, Jamestown, Minot and Ray, N.D.; Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minn.; Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo.; Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba and online at www.studio1.und.edu.

Graphics While creating promotional graphics, we wanted to generate a feeling of innovativeness, precision and sophistication. Throughout the semester we looked to these three words to help us make graphics had a sense of unison. The words were: sophisticated, innovative and precise. To ensure unity in our graphics, we also decided to only use three fonts: Cambria, Dancing Script and Decker.
