Interactive Multimedia Storytelling students received a behind the scenes tour of Pittsburgh’s KDKA studios on Wednesday July 19.  

Students met KDKA’s noon time anchor Kristine Sorenson to watch the live taping of the noon news and then tour.  Students watched the live taping from a set of bleachers that gave a view of the entire studio.  They got to witness how fast the anchors and producers have to change the show when something unexpected happens.

After the taping, students toured the studio, the control room, a second studio, and the office areas.  Kristine Sorenson also took time to talk about her job.  She explained the amount of work that goes into each show and how to get into the broadcasting field.

The tour concluded with an open question and answer session with Kristine Sorenson.
