Hey, YOU! Yes, YOU!

“YOU could be the next Susan Hiland of Oak Park,” said Landon Patterson, a senior on the Axe staff, in the recent enrollment video.

The Axe is looking for new potential staff members to join next year’s team. The Axe is a super fun, safe environment to make videos and report on different topics going around the school. On the Axe you are a part on a team. Every morning you report to put on a daily news show filled with videos and VOs. The various jobs you could be apart of include: anchor, teleprompter, camera operator, sound engineer, graphics and you can even learn how to run a TriCaster as a technical director or director.

If you are at all thinking about going into journalism broadcasting, hoping to work at a news station or just looking for a fun class you get to make videos in then I highly recommend The Axe. It has definitely been a well spent three years in this class and it can be for you too!
