Carolina Week is UNC’s student-produced television broadcast covering Chapel Hill campus and community news.
The first CW reporting started over a decade ago and has been steadily developing alongside technological innovations and transparent coverage since. Supervised by a management team of professors and graduate students with prior professional broadcast experience, students shoot, write and edit their own stories. The program allows students to get lots of hands-on experience in the broadcast journalism field. Carolina Week has won numerous state, regional, and national awards. Currently, the broadcast is live every Wednesday at 11:30 am from the Curtis Media Center at UNC Chapel Hill.
Reporters cover University, community and state news for one TV newscast per week. Each half hour TV newscast included news, weather and sports segments. Students commit to long hours in the studio and outside of class covering stories, editing, running studio and control room equipment and many other tasks.
