SAIT's Lisa MacDonald and student Hannah Lepine on the new virtual reality

Lisa MacDonald of SAIT's Radio, Television and Broadcast News program and her student Hannah Lepine talk about taking the program virtual as the Class of 2020 faces an uncertain future.

Right now hundreds of journalism and broadcasting students should be prepping for their convocations and potentially gearing up for their first summer jobs in the industry.

That includes second year students in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Radio, Television and Broadcast News program, who find themselves virtually shooting, editing and producing a news program from their homes, instead of spending their last weeks together in an on-campus studio.

Led by television instructor and industry veteran Lisa MacDonald, she and student Hannah Lepine join us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about virtual journalism and the prospect of entering the industry in an uncertain time.
