WNIT Public Television announced today another in its Our Town series, this time focusing on the city of Goshen. According to Executive Producer Angel Hernandez, “The Our Town series is all about these towns and the people within them who help tell the stories of what makes their special corner of the world unique. Goshen is rich in cultural and historical content. Everything from historical sites, to traditional high school hang-outs, churches, the college and so many other special places that are known only to those who live in the area and know the true spirit of what Goshen is all about.”
With the help of volunteer videographers and a little training from WNIT’s professional award winning Production team, ordinary citizens become volunteer videographers. Armed with their own home camcorders, they create a video scrapbook of the stories that make Goshen special. WNIT’s professional staff utilizes these video recordings, along with interviews held by the producers with the volunteer videographers, to professionally edit the stories and produce an hour documentary that reflects the emotional ties of the people who live, love and are passionate about OUR TOWN: GOSHEN.
- Time frame:
- Videographers class at Goshen High School, room 8080
401 Lincolnway, Goshen
October 7 and 8, 5 to 7pm - A Premiere Event is held about one week prior to broadcast with videographers and their families to watch a preview of the documentary along with the Mayor of Goshen, city VIPs, and WNIT staff and management.
- WNIT broadcasts OUR TOWN: GOSHEN as part of its Membership Campaign from November 26 to December 5. Videographers answer phones. Three hosts pledge mission “we are your community station.” Hosts concentrate on DVD gifts, while other host interviews the videographers.
