Marold II Special on WVBI's Live at Five

[WVBI]

At 5 this evening, WVBI's Live at five will feature a special program on the Marold II Disaster produced by the students at the BICS Media Lab. It is a very thoughtful recounting of that tragic event put into context with a number of interviews including a very special one with Lawrence McDonough. The students did an outstanding job putting this program together--which included extensive research on the event (resulting in the recovery of additional Marold II artifacts for the BIHS), conducting oral history interviews, writing the script, recording narration and using a digital audio editor to craft all of the audio content into a polished presentation.

You can hear the premier broadcast this evening at 5 right after our news update and again New Year's Day at 5 p.m. by tuning in WVBI at 100.1 on the island or worldwide at www.wvbi.net.

I thought the students did a great job on this presentation. The interviews really made the piece interesting. Kudos to the Media Class at BICS!

This piece of art, produced by the Students is incredible! The story is so well-presented, well-rounded and sounds just as professional as stories on NPR.

A lovely job from all who participated!

I hope we can rebroadcast this occasionally and looking forward to hearing more from the Students!!
