Student-produced alternative energy reports air on UNC-TV

Students at the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media produced video reports that appeared on UNC-TV's "North Carolina Now" Monday, Dec. 6, and Tuesday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m.

Both pieces deal with an alternative energy theme.

One report, which explored the state of solar energy in North Carolina, was produced by second-year J-school master's student Amanda Komar. The associate producer was Trent Johnson, a master's student in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and the script writer was Anne Johnson, a second-year master's student in the science and medical journalism program. The videographer/editor was Mike Oniffrey from UNC-TV.

The other report examined what various North Carolinians are doing to advance hybrid-electric vehicle technology. That report was produced by Carrie Gann, a second-year master’s student in the science and medical journalism program. Associate producers were environmental studies student Casey Stern and continuing student David McInnes. Undergraduate journalism major Grace Joyal wrote the script. The piece was shot and edited by Mike Oniffrey of UNC-TV.
