Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Amarillo College Entry Title: The AC Report March 1 Entry Credit: Lance Hooper, Casey Niccoli Judge Comment: Good overview of the school's activities and a nice variety of student voices (I like how you got to the audio quickly at the start of the newscast). Skilled anchors and a strong array of content.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Del Mar College Entry Title: Newscast Saenz Entry Credit: Ariel Saenz Judge Comment: Lively presentation and good reporting from the field. Nice variety of content. You can tell this team enjoys doing a newscast.
Competition Comment: It's wonderful to hear so many student journalists here in Texas who are interested in radio newscasting. It's a skill that's still very much in demand. I especially liked hearing the reporters out in the field where the action is taking place! I encourage student broadcasters to keep working on their anchoring skills and to look for opportunities to create compelling audio content in their communities.
