PREPARING STUDENTS FOR INTERVIEWS

In early March 2023, Professor Toni Perry hosted a career-related event for the DIGI 498 Senior Portfolio students titled No Cap Panel Podcast: Telltale Expert Interview Advice for Gen Z: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The purpose of this in-class podcast event was to enlighten and educate Liberty’s DMAJ graduating seniors with the “good, bad, and ugly” stories of interviewing applicants for broadcast positions.

The panel of experts in the digital media and journalism industries included seven individuals that work in radio, television, or similar communicationrelated positions throughout Lynchburg and the surrounding areas.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!

In March 2023, DMAJ hosted its Hot off the Press! event. The event featured Liberty graduates currently working for national media outlets as guest speakers, including Jeremy Fitch (ESPN), Esther Eaton (The Dispatch), and Sean Langille (Fox News). The speakers shared their opinions on what journalism looks like in 2023 and beyond. This event was made possible by an Illuminate Grant through the Liberty University Center for Teaching Excellence.
