We continue to operate a news internship recruiting and training Murray State University students, undergraduate and graduate students, without prior broadcasting experience. The students acquire news reporting, research, writing, and digital editing skills. Of these students two advanced to on-air feature production and performance.

WKMS maintains an open door for students who wish to job shadow from the local school systems. We have enjoyed new relationships from these monthly day-long employment modeling visits. The students have been of middle school and high school age and we've had one per semester up until this semester when the student involved dropped away from the program due to a death in her family. During their days at WKMS these students typically do jobs in all areas of the broadcast unit. One, an eighth grader, wrote copy for a press-release going out the next day…most of which was useable.

We seem to be in the final year of a very successful employment relationship with a high school student recruited in fall, 2003. This student has won an award from the Kentucky Broadcasters Association with feature news production that we have used on the air. We intend to begin a new relationship with a high school student for the coming year.

WKMS-FM recruited a new African-American team for the program Soulflight in 2005, which has resulted in a continuing relationship with the Office of Minority Affairs on campus and the recruitment of new student on-air talent. This new team received broadcast training and work with the WKMS program director gaining experience in presenting their three hour weekly program.

 

Mission Statement: WKMS broadcasts National Public Radio and local programs that inform enrich, and entertain in concert with the mission of Murray State University. WKMS skilled staff, students and volunteers serve listeners with comprehensive music and information programs that reflect current affairs, history and cultures.
