About students, for students, by students...
CougarCast is a completely student-run news magazine show at Misericordia University in Dallas, PA. Students receive hands-on learning experience while informing the campus community. The show airs monthly on Channel 10 and MTV-U. The first show aired in the fall of 2008.
Learning by doing...
Members of CougarCast work with state-of-the-art equipment and a fully equipped television studio. Students edit, shoot, write, and produce a professional-style news program with little intervention from their advisor.
Preparing for the future...
Students who work on CougarCast can see the professional benefits as soon as they start. For senior Amanda Janiga, who is currently working as a producer for WNEP-TV in Scranton, PA, this experience has been invaluable in pursuing a career in media.
