Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: TCU Entry Title: TCU News Now: SPECIAL EDITION Entry Credit: Edgar Saenz, Madyson Buchanan Judge Comment: This was a creative take on a newscast. I love that everyone was out in the field and even though it was a football-centric show, they still incorporated traditional elements of a newscast like a weather forecast and a rundown of serious topics. I also enjoyed the inclusion of compelling campus stories like the majorette package.
