Produce your own TV segment
A T.V. segment is a part of the news broadcast that contains a story, information aside from the regular news.
For example, the weather segment, the sports segment, entertainment news, etc. Your assignment is to produce a template for a T.V. segment for KMMS. This should be a segment that can be played once a week or daily on the news broadcast. For example, if you have a movie review segment, then each week you would review a different movie. This is an individual assignment - no partners, although you may ask others to participate as long as they have time to complete their own work.
