Students from NYFA’s broadcast journalism program attended a special training course on online broadcasting at Mogulus Offices in NY. Sponsored by NBC, the program aims at training journalists at digital media.

Taking part in this venture and introducing the students to cutting edge broadcasting technology was an exciting experience for Mogulus!

Marian Porges, Senior Producer at NBC News and Chair of the Broadcast Journalism Department at NYFA initiated the venture, as part of the Broadcast Journalism Program’s curriculum.

Students create their own channels in Mogulus’ conference room.

Some even shot a pilot for a show!
