The
electronic media industry is a competitive business. Employers
want new hires who can immediately provide value in today’s
economically-challenged environment.
In
its eighth year, UNI’s Fast Forward
electronic media workshop continues to bring working professionals
to college students, simply to help broadcast students learn
how to get ahead in their careers. Students pick the workshops
they want to attend and hear industry experts discuss the
best practices that helped them control and further their
broadcast careers. Whether it is video production, editing,
radio or TV journalism, Fast Forward gives you ideas and insight
to understand the fast-changing broadcast industry.
More than 150 students, who are interested in broadcasting,
from colleges and high schools attended the workshop in 2011.
Fast Forward is endorsed by the Iowa Broadcasters Association.
It also provides funds to cover registration costs for all
attendees. Past speakers have included Mark Steines from Entertainment
Tonight and Krista Voda, a pit reporter for NASCAR on the
Fox network.
