Scan TV

Description

According to its website, Seattle's SCAN TV serves the Seattle and King County communities through Public Access TV, by providing equipment, promoting media literacy, media justice and community dialogue as an alternative voice for the community. The official language tends to obscure just how well SCAN TV thrives on putting both the community and the access in community access broadcasting. No other civic station offers SCAN's diverse community-oriented programming. SCAN emphasizes features and series by the people of Seattle and for the people of Seattle, and the station substantially has reduced its need for out-of-market programming, because locals admirably have risen to the occasion. In fact, the sophisticated SCAN studios are filled with aspiring local producers, directors, technicians, and on-air personalities almost twenty-four hours a day. Distinguished from other civic stations, SCAN aggressively reaches out to Seattle-area residents, offering classes, workshops, program promotion, and professional support. Consequently, some of SCAN's homegrown programming has more devoted viewers than other cable networks' programs in the same time-slots. In March, 2011, three new SCAN programs aired for the first time, and immediately gained rave reviews: Scanned Up Comedy, How to Get a Job in Seattle, and Community Blog TV promise to become emerald city hits.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

The girl you see on USC's Annenberg Television News Network tonight probably will reappear on CNN, Fox News, or one of the major networks about six months from now. Working at and appearing on ATVN, the student-run television station at USC's Annenberg School of Journalism, aspiring journalists hone their skills and develop their clip files, completing their apprenticeships and taking their very last steps before turning pro. In fact, much of ATVN's reporting presents Los Angeles area and southern California news with greater clarity, accuracy, objectivity, and depth than viewers find on the local network affiliates. ATVN airs a half-hour live nightly news broadcast Monday through Thursday evenings. Consistent with the station's educational mission and USC's traditionally high standards, students manage every aspect of preparation, production, and broadcast; and they insist on excellence. The station's website says, modestly, Students learn to make editorial decisions under deadline pressure; to write, shoot and edit; and to use software, cameras and studio equipment found in professional newsrooms. An alumna, now an anchor person at an NBC affiliate, says, I worked at least as hard art ATVN as I do here at Channel 7; and I would not be in the anchor chair today if I hadn't learned to do it on Trojan Vision. In addition to the nightly news, Annenberg students produce Impact, an award-winning long-form news program that airs on Los Angeles Channel 36. Impact and its individual contributors have won several coveted, prestigious awards from The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the people who also present Emmy Awards.
