NEWS3
NEWS3 is the student news organization advised by News Coordinator, Emily Manley. NEWS3 staff produces, directs, anchors and
reports for three weekly shows a semester, in addition to special programming that is created on a semester-by-semester basis.
The award-winning "Live at 4" is one of those student-produced newscasts. The show airs live every semester twice a week
on local channel 3 and on NEWS3's YouTube channel. The 30-minute newscast has won several awards, including "Best Newscast,"
"Best Light News" and "Best Serious News" from the Mid-America chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
NEWS3 has also won several awards from the Illinois News Broadcasters Association for "Outstanding Television Newscast" and "Outstanding
Hard TV News Program." Additionally, the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Society has recognized NEWS3 for multiple awards.
An additional show, "Good Morning Macomb," highlights entertainment news and live interviews with notable people in the community. GMM airs for 30 minutes once a week,
and is coordinated by juniors and seniors with news producing experience and is staffed by many student volunteers. "Good Morning Macomb"
has taken first and second place for "Outstanding Soft Television Program" from
the INBA.
In addition to the newscasts, many students have been recognized individually for
their work, both in front of the camera and behind. Several have received a Student
Television Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Mid-
America chapter.
