Behind the lens of broadcast

Under the bright lights of the football stadium with players crashing into each other and the crowd cheering in the stands you may think it’s just the players working tirelessly, but a hardworking group of students is working together to make the game reach everyone at home. With Broadcast Club the excitement doesn’t just stop in the stands, they work behind the scenes to ensure events are captured and available to the screens of any Trojan.

Meeting every Thursday at lunch in Room 208, the Broadcast Club provides a place to learn many things. Whether it’s tech, photography, or interviewing, Broadcast has something for everyone. The club members receive hands-on experience capturing action shots and conducting interviews with the athletes, cheerleaders, and audience members, showcasing their school spirit all while earning volunteer hours.

Broadcast is more than just a way to be involved with the school media scene; it’s an opportunity to grow connections and gain knowledge in media and communication. 

“It’s a great club to try new things and experience a new field you have an interest in or even know nothing about. Just a great opportunity to really gain a sense of a team-based club giving access to streams to our community,” said club President Julian Talauta. 

Members can choose the job they want to do during the game. They get training for livestream setup, management, and recording. 

Sports aren’t the only thing Broadcast publicizes. Members cover College & Career Center events and plan to do more community-based coverage.

They have highlights of the events at CVHS and a Linktree attached where you can find all of their resources on their Instagram page @cvhsbroadcast. You can also support Broadcast for free on YouTube at their account CV Broadcast where members post their streams and podcasts.

“Broadcast is currently in the process of starting up our podcast rooms again, where people can talk about current events whether it be at our school or in general. We give advice and overall curate it to be our own creative podcast,” shared the club’s social media manager Willow Bhattarai.

So if you ever find yourself bored on Thursday at lunch and are interested in getting involved in the behind-the-scenes action of our high school’s events, stop by Room 208. Broadcast is ready to welcome.
