High school football video by Joel Pfahler


Joel and another student attended a high school football game with me at Tecumseh High School on Sept. 9. Joel shot video that night at what turned out to be an exciting come-from-behind win for Tecumseh over Miami Trace.

Joel edited a video report for the game in the tradition of a local TV newscast. He didn't have a partner to be able to do standups, so he added tracks during the editing process.

If you want to know more about the game, you can read the story I wrote for the Springfield News-Sun. I do a lot of freelance work for the newspaper.

Learning from Dayton Dragons broadcasters by Josh Evans

The Dayton Dragons media pass is nothing to laugh at. I was able to walk through the “backstage” of the minor league team’s facility. By the time I had gone down onto the field, through the team dugout, and back up to the press box, I was very pleased with what I had seen.  But the radio broadcasters were already behind the closed doors, so it took some guts to go open the door and let them know I was supposed to watch them as they broadcast. The main broadcaster, Tom Nichols, must have been Fifth Third Field at least three hours in advance of the start. A second thing that was important to him and his color commentator Mike Couzens were resources. There were rulebooks, rosters, two laptops, and more; it helped me see where they get a lot of their information.

Dayton Dragons video by Ryan Thurman



Our entire class covered a Dayton Dragons minor-league baseball game on Aug. 28, 2011. It turned out to be the day the Dragons clinched a second-half division title and playoff berth in the Class A Midwest League.

Ryan's assignment was to produce a video report on the game similar to the kind done for local newscasts.
