Journalism Pitches New SFCC Multimedia Center

Journalism instructor Jason Nix recently made two presentations about a $120,000 proposed multimedia work center. Jason spoke to the CCS Board as part of their "celebrating success" presentation where Jason was able to highlight recent national awards the SFCC Communicator has earned and pitch the idea of a new multimedia center designed to incorporate print production, podcasting, and video production.

Jason also presented the idea to the SFCC Student Council last week in an effort to get part of the expected $600,000 budget surplus students have accumulated. If the proposal is adopted, the plan is to remodel 19-119 when the Audio Technology program moves to their new facilities as soon as the Music building remodel is complete. The plan is to have a production center that is inter-disciplinary and mirrors current media production work environments.

  1. The Communicator is awesome, and they deserve anything they can get. Is it bad that I am also the Editor-in-Chief of the paper?

    I also wanted to say on behalf of the staff of The Communicator, that this blog is a great idea, and has the full support of The Communicator.
