The program highlighted individuals who turned their lives around despite the pandemic and featured interviews with students, parents, and professors who shared their strategies for success \u2013 including laughter \u2013 in a post-Covid world. The program which originally aired on May 3, can be <a href=\"https:\/\/streamstak.com\/hawkplus\/video\/focus-disruption-moving-forward-may-3-2022\/\">viewed on School\u2019s streaming platform Hawk+<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>New Orleans | Raging Storms<\/em> program was produced by a team of student journalists who traveled to New Orleans over spring break in 2022 to report on two issues important to their generation \u2013 climate change and racial injustice. The special report, <a href=\"https:\/\/streamstak.com\/hawkplus\/video\/new-orleans-raging-storms\/\">which is also available to stream on Hawk+<\/a>, included stories about how the New Orleans and surrounding areas dealt with increasingly violent storms, environmental racism, crime, music, the tourist economy and gentrification.<\/p>\n<p>The project was part of a class led by SCM News Producer Steve McCarthy and Professor David Sanders. The students spent weeks in preproduction and had a full schedule of filming in Louisiana for one week. After overcoming <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcuacademy.com\/catalog\/student-journalists-reporting-field-trip\" target=\"_blank\">many challenges during their trip<\/a>, the students returned to campus and spent the rest of the semester screening, writing, and editing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, our students have collaborated to produce incredible work that has received national recognition,\u201d says News Lab Coordinator and SCM Clinical Specialist Mark Effron, who along with Professor Vernard Gantt, oversees the News Lab and advises students on the #Focus projects. \u201cThis nomination, to go along with the Cablefax award the students won earlier this year for another #Focus program, reflects the students\u2019 drive and work ethic, and their ability to produce high-level, professional news programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe trip to New Orleans was memorable in many ways for the students, and Professor Sanders and I are incredibly proud of their ability to overcome adversity and produce a program worthy of a Student College Television Award,\u201d McCarthy says.<\/p>\n<p>Is this not the first time students have been nominated for the College Television Awards. In 2019, the <em>News Lab\u2019s: Hurricane Recovery Mission to Puerto Rico<\/em> won the Best in News award, as well as the prestigious Seymour Bricker Humanitarian Award, which recognizes work that highlights global human issues.<\/p>\n<p>The 42nd College Television Awards will be held in Los Angeles, California on April 1, 2023 and winners in the competition will be announced by celebrity presenters at the ceremony.
