The Ekko is a television news magazine program produced by Broadcast Journalism students at Hastings High School, Hastings, Minnesota. Airing weekly from mid-March through the end of May, The Ekko is broadcast to the entire school and local community via cable television.
Similar to a real echo that can be heard in a deep valley formed by tall mountains, The Ekko sends back to its viewers the sounds it captures. For more than twenty years, The Ekko has also recorded the pictures and stories of the people who comprise our school.
Broadcast Journalism is an introductory course for students who are considering a broadcast journalism career or have a strong interest in the field. Ideal candidates for this class will have a background and passion in videography or photography and possess above-average abilities in speaking and writing. Students will study several components of television news including story selection, on-air announcing and presentation, and news writing, videography and editing.
The class operates similar to a professional television newsroom and requires students to be self-motivated to produce the highest quality news program possible.
