Each project here came from a real assignment, a real deadline, and a real attempt to get the story right. These are not polished showreels — they are honest records of what students produced while learning to report, edit, and broadcast.
Selected works
Sport Analytic
Teodora Vukic spent six weeks studying how sport analytic figures — possession percentages, pass accuracy, expected goals — get translated into spoken commentary during live broadcasts. Her final piece includes a 12-minute mock segment recorded with a co-anchor and a written analysis of where the numbers helped and where they cluttered the script.
Radio Reporting
Finn Okafor produced four short radio segments covering local athletic events across Niagara Falls. Each segment required him to gather facts on-site, write a tight 90-second script, and deliver it cleanly under time pressure. The series shows a clear progression from the first segment to the last — the structure tightens, the language becomes more precise.
Multimedia
Priya Szabo's project examines how sport analytic data can be visualised on-air without overwhelming a general audience. She designed three graphics packages — each for a different sport — and wrote the accompanying anchor scripts. The project also includes a short written reflection on what she would change after watching the final broadcast back.
Projects are assessed on accuracy, structure, and delivery — not polish. Instructors leave feedback visible inside each submission so other students can follow the revision process, not just the finished result.
In their own words
These are informal reflections collected after project submissions — candid, unedited, and more useful than any grade.
"I assumed sport analytic numbers would make the commentary sound smarter. What I found was the opposite — too many stats in 30 seconds just confused my co-anchor. The project taught me to choose one number and explain why it matters, not list five."

"Segment three was the turning point. I stopped trying to sound like a professional and just reported what I actually saw at the game. The instructor said it was the clearest of the four. That surprised me — I thought I was being too plain."

"Designing the graphics was easier than writing the scripts. Fitting a sport analytic explanation into 18 words — short enough for an anchor to read without rushing — took longer than building the visual. I rewrote the hockey script four times."
