Just Hired! Luke Little
Meet Luke Little, a graduate of Western Illinois University's Broadcasting & Journalism and Communications, who was hired as a news producer at WGEM, a Quincy-based TV station providing coverage throughout Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
"Broadcasting helped a lot with learning the language of news and TV and just the operational side of things. I use the most from my writing classes and journalism ethics course. Covering live sports at WIU also prepared me to produce live shows on a daily basis."
