SAN MARCOS, CA \u2013 Students in Palomar College\u2019s digital broadcast arts (DBA) program won first and third place awards in the national \u00a02017 Festival of Media Arts competition sponsored by the Broadcast Education Association (BEA).<\/p>\n

Abel Garcia won first place in the Two-Year Small-College category for producing the episode Palomar Live 11-10-16. <\/em>David Michaels won third place in the same category for producing the episode Palomar Live 09-29-16.<\/em><\/p>\n

Palomar Live<\/em> is a morning news talk show produced entirely by students. There are opportunities to be camera operators, producers, directors, audio techs, technical directors, floor directors, reporters, photographers, writers and more. Students rotate jobs each week to experience different positions of the show.<\/p>\n

Instructor Serena Reid, who is a graduate of Palomar\u2019s digital broadcast arts program said the show\u2019s tag line, \u201cThe Pulse of North county!\u201d describes it well. The producers and reporters \u201cseek out those unique nuggets of information about North San Diego County and brings them to the attention of residents in the surrounding communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Palomar Live 11-10-16, <\/em>which aired right before Veterans Day, was focused on the topic of Veterans. Guests were Gerald Hampton of the National Naval Officers Association<\/a>; Kurt Schwend of United Through Reading<\/a>, an organization that helps keep deployed family members connected to their kids by recording them reading books; and Gail Chatfield and\u00a0 Ron Pickett of the Veterans Writing Group of San Diego County.<\/p>\n

The Palomar Live 09-29-16 <\/em>episode was animal-themed. Guests were Laura Spann and Aleia Scott, trainers for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park – with special guest “Pokie” the African Crested Porcupine; Geraldine D’Silva-Director of PAWS San Diego<\/a> (PAWS provides essential pet services and support to low-income pet families all over San Diego County); and Debbie Shinner and Kaitlyn Stewart from REINS Therapeutic Horsemanship Program<\/a> in Fallbrook.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stress to the students to make each show and its subject matter relevant, timely and compelling,\u201d Reid said. \u201cWe want to create as close to real-world scenarios as we can so that the students are battle-tested and marketable once they leave our program and they are confident in either follow on academic endeavors or being gainfully employed.\u201d<\/p>\n

DBA instructor Austin Hill, also a graduate of Palomar\u2019s DBA program added, \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of Abel and David, and all of our students\u2026This goes to show that the training, equipment, and experience at Palomar College makes it a top contender when it comes to getting invaluable experience in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

DBA Professor Pat Hahn added, “It’s such an amazing feeling to have two former students become extraordinary instructors, and join forces to help shape the next generation of award winning Digital Broadcast Arts Alumni — I’m so proud of the students and our instructors. ”<\/p>\n
