Tonight, we wrapped the fall in-studio shoots for @iustv.
They've produced 58 shows, a handful of field programs, three podcast series and an honorable mention from @collegemedia's Pinnacle Awards.
Not bad, for a pandemic.@iumediaschool @iubloomington @indianauniv 1/7 pic.twitter.com/G5uEdKAUa5

This term, they've covered elections, football and student government.
They showed us demonstrations and protests.
They wrote really funny stuff and interviewed the characters around town.
They conscientiously shared things people can do safely around here these days. 2/7 pic.twitter.com/x5fDHRM08b

And they aren't done!
Some of these programs will continue over the online-only portion of the fall semester and across the winter break.
It's exciting to hear what they have planned. 3/7 pic.twitter.com/HibjY6I84v

Important: they did it all wearing masks, social distancing, taking classes – in-person, virtual, hybrid – and living their lives.
We were fortunate. @iustv stayed within the safety measures @indianauniv, @iubloomington and @iumediaschool implemented and stayed healthy. 4/7 pic.twitter.com/6rkbqVxLN0

I'm pleased with their work, and thankful for their good spirits.
I'm excited to see their continual desire to improve their craft.
And I'm exceedingly proud to have watched them grow. It's the best part of my job.
They should be proud too.
Student media? Awesome.
