ORR High School students in the Intro to TV Production, Video Journalism and Bulldog TV courses traveled to Boston to view a live broadcast of the 12 p.m. news at WBZ-TV - a CBS affiliate.

The students were greeted by Ed Piette, the General Manager and President of WBZ-TV.  Assistant Director Tisha Wilson also took the students on a tour of the facility.  Our first stop was the graphics department.  The students also visited the graphics department, where the artists explained how they create logos

Students were able to view the live broadcast of the news, both from the control room and in the studio.

After the newscast, co-anchors Paula Ebben and David Wade as well as meteorologist Melissa Mack fielded questions from the students.

The field trip was funded through a grant from the Rochester Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
