Let me tell you about @M_Struewing14. She works on about four shows, anchoring, reporting, writing promos. She was a finalist in the @SPJRegion5 Mark of Excellence awards for a feature story about a circus school. @IUSTV @iustvnews #IUDay #StudentMedia 3/6 pic.twitter.com/evfbFjQlxe

These people, all the @IUSTV crews, all work hard. They have classes, jobs and lives, but they go into the field, into edit bays, the control room and the studio to learn their craft. Student media – of any variety, at every school – is special. #IUDay #StudentMedia 6/6 pic.twitter.com/vDACSrXEJj
